Bardstown-Nelson County Tourist & Convention Commission Now Available on the App Store

Visitors to the Bardstown area can now discover the spirit of the Bourbon Capital of the World™ with a few flicks of the finger.  Red Pixel Studios and Bardstown-Nelson County Tourist & Convention Commission announced today that the Bardstown App is now available for no charge on the App Store.

A product of Red Pixel Studios’ RPS | infoApp solution, the Bardstown App enables users to get information about Bardstown and Nelson County using their Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Bardstown is strong in spirit – a southern spirit that welcomes visitors to one of The Best Small Towns in America, and a religious spirit that's appropriate for the home of the first diocese of the West. And a little spirit we call Bourbon. The eclectic shops, cultural legacy and historical heritage of Bardstown blend beautifully with that spirit. The area is home to My Old Kentucky Home and “Stephen Foster – The Musical” as well as museums dedicated to the Civil War, railroads and Bourbon. Sample the spirits, sounds and flavors that are quintessentially Bardstown in the Bardstown App.

The Bardstown App features:

• Announcements delivered via Apple Push Notification Service
• News
• Events
• Location Map
• Things To Do
• Accommodations
• Dining
• Shopping

“We are pleased to add the iPhone App to our marketing mix.  It will be a great tool for our guests and locals alike to have event, attraction and restaurant information at their fingertips,”  Dawn Przystal, vice president of tourism expansion and marketing, Bardstown-Nelson County Tourist Commission, said.

“We are proud that the Bardstown-Nelson County Tourist & Convention Commission selected Red Pixel Studios to develop the Bardstown App,” said Eric Kyle, president, Red Pixel Studios.  “We’re also pleased to be able to contribute to spreading the spirit of this quintessential Kentucky town.”
