Fru-Gal Column March 4

It always amazes me when people say that family activities can be so expensive. Since my children were younger we have been to many events that have been fun and educational but especially FREE. We always felt that it was worth a try and if it wasn’t what we expected we didn’t lose out any money. I will tell you at least 80 percent of the time we had a blast. The saddest part of the whole adventure was that not many people take advantage of these activities. Lexington is full of different aspects of life that open up many new opportunities for you to participate in.
The following places offer classes throughout the year. Go to their website to see future classes.

Rock it out on April 2010 at a free concert featuring Augustana at Buster’s Billards and Backroom in Lexington. The 10,000 hours show concert is a unique celebration of service that takes the best parts of a concert and makes them better by having an all-volunteer audience, a community saying thanks and performers who care. Just sign up at The United Way of the Bluegrass and start logging your volunteer hours for a free ticket.
