Red, white & blues

COVINGTON, Ky. – For the time being, the weather is supposed to be clear (if hot) for the Fourth of July this weekend, but you know how that is …   Celebrating the 4th Technically speaking, Sunday should revolve around mentions of the Continental Congress, King George III, and a bunch of courageous co-signers.   But we’re realists.

Juneteenth, Music@BCM & Bark Bark Brunch

Covington Plaza dedication June 18

Event to celebrate grand opening of dramatic riverfront space   COVINGTON, Ky. – The transformation of Covington’s riverfront was no small thing.   Under the careful direction of Prus Construction’s project manager, 500 cement mixers poured 4,000 cubic yards of concrete.

Art, crafts & caution
