Kentucky Browncoats
The Kentucky Browncoats is a little fandom with a big heart that belongs to the Firefly TV show, a sadly short-lived space-western series from the early 2000s, and its follow-up movie, Serenity. They enjoy doing charity work, gathering monthly for bowling and board game night plus other activities. They welcome all nerdy fandoms and would love to have you aboard. The Kentucky Browncoats also take in strays from outside of Kentucky. The group is on Facebook – KYBrowncoats there and on all social – but also have a newsletter for those who would like to stay in the know about upcoming events like their exclusive, annual Train Job whodunit.
