It's That Time of Year Again

The warm weather decided to grace us with her presence today, and although it may be Sunday before the weather really heats up, it seems Spring has finally arrived in the Bluegrass - just in time for opening weekend of Keeneland. If you are one of the lucky ones who does not have to sit behind a desk tomorrow, be sure to have a bloody mary in the Paddock for me!                            

Happy 75th to Keeneland

The Lexington Farmer's Market is another opening Lexington has to offer this weekend. The Cheapside Park location in the Fifth Third Pavilion will be open Saturday, April 9, at 8 a.m. and run until 1 p.m. If you cannot make it out on Saturday, you can catch the Farmer's Market at their Southland Drive location on Sunday morning. The Tuesday/Thursday markets on South Broadway and Maxwell will open on May 3.


Vendors from near and far travel downtown to sell fresh vegetables, fruits, meats, cheeses, bread, flowers, and even wine. Not only is it a healthy way to shop, but you are supporting fellow Kentuckians. There is plenty of free parking across the street in the parking garage right next to the "big blue" building. Be Kentucky Proud, and venture on down.

And for those golf fans out there, The Masters concluded the day with Rory McIlroy tied for first as the youngest ever first-round leader. In 2007, a friend and I had the privilege of going to the Wednesday practice round. Not only did we experience the majestic elegance of the Augusta National Golf Club, but we enjoyed the best (and cheapest) egg salad and pimento cheese sandwiches ever with a little bit of Adam Scott on the side.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!
