COVINGTON, Ky. - We’re going to bend our rules and talk not only about the weekend in #LoveTheCov but also mention next Wednesday because ... well ... for obvious reasons.   But lest you rush forward to the New Year, you should realize that there are indeed interesting things to do this weekend, including some events designed to help you relax after a stressful holiday.   Jake Spee...

COVINGTON, Ky. - In Covington, we make it easy to get much of your Christmas shopping done earlier - and support local artists, artisans, makers and designers in the process.   There are three different markets in #LoveTheCov this weekend, two indoors and one out.   Of course, if you don’t want to shop, you can also drink up at the annual Dark Charge festival, attend some holiday c...

(EDITOR’S NOTE: “#Weekend in LoveTheCov” is being published on Wednesday this week because we don’t feel like working tomorrow. Next week, this regular feature returns to its regularly published regular time slot.)   COVINGTON, Ky. - We can read your mind, right this second:   You're thinking, “oh no, annoying relatives are coming to town...

COVINGTON, Ky. - It’s the big lull before the holidays, when we all take a breath before the panic (and the hyperventilating) of the Thanksgiving to New Year’s to-do list kicks in.   But that doesn’t mean you need to stay home.   Here in #LoveTheCov, we have a comedy show, the opening on an art gallery, a production at the Leapin’ Lizard, acrylic pouring class, th...

COVINGTON, Ky. - If the dreary weather and the end of daylight savings have you feeling low, we have what the doctor ordered in #LoveTheCov this weekend ... (and it’s not more cowbell).   Try belly dancing (with wine). Tarot cards. Edible cookie dough. Drinking a beer to honor military veterans who have a second career protecting the public here in Covington. Helping a new boutique...

COVINGTON, Ky. - We can’t believe we’re even suggesting this, but you COULD start getting in the Christmas spirit this weekend (see below).   Or, if you like us bristle at the early mistle(toe), you could see what the inside of an aerial truck looks like, dig some holes for a good cause alongside some Covington streets, check out a Carnegie show, do yoga with the dogs, hear some p...

The Read Ready Covington mural will be seen by every driver on busy Fifth Street. New art brings attention to Read Ready Covington literacy effort  COVINGTON, Ky. - Visible, fun, and interactive signs of Covington’s commitment to early childhood literacy and education are popping up around the city.   From murals to alphabet signs spread out like a scavenger hunt, the Read Ready Co...

COVINGTON, Ky. - The rainy forecast has delayed the City’s massive Touch a Truck showcase and the five-neighborhood tree planting originally scheduled for this Saturday, so we guess y’all will just have to focus on Halloween.   Fortunately, if you like dressing in costume and all things spooky, there’s a lot going on, as the list below shows.   There’s also some t...

COVINGTON, Ky. - Post-BLINK letdown?   Never. Not in #LoveTheCov, where this weekend you can learn all about wine, watch a Halloween-themed movie outdoors, listen to some Wild Sonnets, plant flower pots along Madison Avenue or celebrate a year of cannoli.   Or, for a good cause, you can wear 1920s flapper dresses, eat food from Bouquet while listening to music, or sit around with a bunch...

COVINGTON, Ky. - Believe it or not, we asked someone the other day whether they were going to BLINK this weekend, and they actually - and sincerely - responded: “Never heard of it. What is it?”   (Bet they don’t say that after this weekend.)   But let’s say you WEREN’T a fan of exquisite and creative projected light mapping, art installations and music. &nbs...
