She was that place her leadership, her energy, her actual care for people. And once she was gone? It completely lost its heart. The vibes tanked, the direction felt aimless, and it became pretty clear something was seriously off behind the scenes. Don't sit here and act like this is just "the next chapter." Be real. You had something incredible, and somehow managed to run it into the ground. People showed up for the mission, for the team, and for the community. But instead of transparency or accountability, we get a carefully packaged farewell post like everything's fine? It's not fine. This didn't have to happen. But whatever happened internally clearly mattered more than the community Spark claimed to care about. Disappointed, but not surprised.

On my lunch break today I went to God's Pantry's program "Food for Thought" that is done on the…read moresecond Thursday of each month. They give you a free box lunch, a presentation of their programs, and a brief tour of the warehouse. I had been to God's Pantry before to volunteer, but this presentation really opened my eyes to everything that they are able to accomplish and how they work to supply faith based and other partner agencies in 50 counties. They feed 200,000 people a year. For every $1 you donate, they are able to distribute 8 meals. With only 50 full time employees, I am very impressed with how efficient this organization is. It was also very interesting to find out where all of the food comes from, for example our local Kroger and Walmart donates bread, meat, and other items that can be frozen on their sell by date. God's Pantry is also committed to giving out healthy foods-their goal is 1/3 fresh produce. If you would like to come to a Food for Thought, contact Alice Rogers, the Development Coordinator, at (859) 288-5322. They don't ask you for donations on the spot, but provide you information packets to take with you.

I am very thankful for being chosen to be one of the first students to start this program and I pray that their will be many more to come. This is the best preschool program in Georgetown, KY!

It could be the diversity of the crowd. It could even be the food and drinks. I would not do this event any justice if I limit it to one thing that makes it great. The NOLI Night Market has a Brooklyn NY vibe without the huge high rise buildings. When I try to explain this event I'm compelled to use terms like: abstract, eclectic, artsy just to attempt to explain the vibe. Reminds me of Asheville NC because of all of the liberal arts school in the area. It may seems like I'm rambling but that's this event in a nut shell. So hard to put the vide into words or even explain it. When I'm ask about I just say you have to try it. That's all I can come up with. I purchase some really cool laser etched wine glasses here as well as some classic vinyl records. My daughter purchase some homemade soap from some very young entrepreneurs and some home made doggie treats. The scope is just that broad. The food trucks ranges from waffles to noodles. Not to mention the local ice cream and beer vendors. If you name it you can find it here. Very nice event that I'm glad to see the growing JC

This was my first visit to the Night Market on Bryan Avenue, just off Limestone. It was a freezing…read morenight, but very cozy. This was one of the most authentic events, that I have ever been to within Lexington. It is a MUST VISIT for anyone that appreciates local arts/crafts for sale, food trucks, beer, cultural stuff, etc. They have about 50 authentic booths that sells local arts and crafts including jewelry, the prices are very reasonable and supports NoLi businesses (North Limestone). You can grab some awesome grub, drink (Think West 6th) and enjoy the atmosphere. I fortunately was able to take a tour of one of the Shotgun houses on York Avenue featuring art as well as art in work (building an artistic house) on North Limestone. People and vendors are extremely friendly. This is a wonderful place to spend a Friday night date. Night Market happens on the first Friday of each month, I am not sure if there will be a January NM, but I do know there will be one in December. Definitely a hidden gem that everyone should add to their bucket list of things to do in Lexington. Katy Perry would sing at the Night Market, "This Friday night Do it all again Do it all again This Friday night Do it all again Do it all again This Friday night T.G.I.F. T.G.I.F. T.G.I.F. T.G.I.F. T.G.I.F. T.G.I.F. T.G.I.F." Elite approved :)
