I never knew that Garrard County was where singer John Michael Montgomery shot his video "Sold" (The Grundy County Auction)  in 1995.
Of course, it should not be that much of a surprise since JMM was born in nearby Danville in Boyle county.
The video was filmed at the stockyards, which has been closed since summer of 2007.
