WLKY's Fred Cowgill takes a break in the MMC.

When the Kentucky Derby Festival wanted a better way to host media at its events, we went to a local company that is known for treating their customers as honored guests.  Tom Stinnett RV provided us with the venue to treat local, regional and national media as “honored guests” of the Kentucky Derby Festival, by sponsoring the KDF Mobile Media Center.  The luxury RV loaned by Tom Stinnett has been a staple at several Festival events since 2002.

The Mobile Media Center is the media "hot spot" at events like the Great Steamboat Race.
Camping World now open!

The Mobile Media Center is a primary tool of the Festival's communications program. Loaded with press kits, communications staff and access to local TV, it’s the media “hot spot” at core Festival events such as Thunder Over Louisville and the Great Balloon Race.  The Mobile Media Center plays host to hundreds of members of the working press, providing a media resource center as well as hospitality area.  Catering is provided by Whole Foods Market, which opened its first Kentucky store in Louisville in February 2004.

Anyone with a Derby Festival Press Credential has access to the center. Members of the local, regional and national press display these badges to access the Festival's events.

Tom Stinnett owns the nation’s largest indoor RV showroom. The Tom Stinnett RV Freedom Center sells about 1,200 units per year and employs more than sixty professionals. Stinnett RV was recently renovated after being selected as a Camping World Gold Medal Dealer. Be sure to check out the NEW Camping World Store, now open in Clarksville, Indiana.
