We celebrate Kentucky's first governor, a legendary saxophone player and one of the world's most famous racehorses.

As Toby Gibbs takes a look back at this week in Kentucky history.

On June 3rd, 1792, two days after Kentucky joined the union, the Kentucky General Assembly met on the second floor of the Market House on Main Street in Lexington.

Isaac Shelby took the oath of office as Kentucky's first governor on June 5th, 1900.

Anti-alcohol crusader Carrie Nation, a native of Garret County, said God told her in a vision to destroy the liquor in a Kansas saloon.

Two days later, she did.

June 8th, 1918, two Army airmen flew from Dayton, Ohio, to Madison County, Kentucky.

Gassed up and flew on to Louisville for a total of 175 miles.

It was the first long distance flight in Kentucky.

It was the car that made driving possible for the working class.

The last Model-T rolled off the Louisville Ford Plant Assembly line on June 3rd, 1927.

Saxophone great Homer Boots Randolph was born the same day, June 3rd, 1927, in Paducah.

He's best known for his 1959 hit yakety sax.

Perhaps best known as the popular theme song for British comedian Benny Hill's TV show Man of War, made his racing debut at Belmont Park in New York, beating the field by six lengths.

On June 6th, 1919.

And those are some of the big events this week in Kentucky history.

I'm Toby Gibbs.
