It’s beginning to feel a lot like … fall

COVINGTON, Ky. - It's getting colder outside, obviously, so it's time in Covington to do some cool weather things.   Halloween parties, trail clearing, neighborhood cook-outs, painting pumpkins. Those things. And of course the weekly Covington Farmers Market is offering fall kinds of crops.   Of you could learn how to fuse glass to make a sun-catcher, or mount a black scorpion for displa...

‘Touch a Truck’ draws over 1,000

COVINGTON, Ky. - An estimated 1,100 people converged on the Latonia Shopping Center early Saturday afternoon for the City of Covington’s first “Touch a Truck” event.

Trick or treat hours carved in stone

COVINGTON, Ky. - Trick or treat hours have been officially set in the City of Covington: 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Oct. 31 (it’s a Wednesday this year).   (Yes, we know that Halloween is still about three weeks’ away, but we’re already receiving inquiries at City Hall, so we decided to reassure the City’s youth that trick or treating IS being officially sanctioned again this y...

Big trucks, trees & cornhole

COVINGTON, Ky. - We tried to find a theme for a weekend that features a cornhole tournament ... a tree planting ... a scary movie in a cemetery ... a huge show-and-tell event for public works and public safety trucks ... roller derby ... a candidates' forum ... a Masquerade pub crawl ... and a stage reading of a local playwright's work.   But then we just gave up.   Suffice to say that t...

Tree-planting event Saturday in desperate need

Volunteers planted almost 50 trees along sidewalks in the Austinburg neighborhood in April. Now it's Latonia's turn.

‘Touch a Truck’ showcases safety, service vehicles

COVINGTON, Ky. - There’s an obvious reason that the City of Covington’s “Touch a Truck” open house is being held on the vast parking lot of the Latonia Shopping Center.   Few other places in the City - if any - would be large enough.   The event, to be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Saturday, will feature public safety and public service vehicles of all shapes, ...

Bluegrass music & making mosaics

COVINGTON, Ky. - Saturday in particular presents some tough choices in #LovetheCov this weekend.   Not whether to stay home or go out (that's an easy one) but where to go?   The fantastic DevouGrass ... or the Farmer's Market ... or some arts classes for personal fulfillment ... or a poignant reading by the amazing Richard Taylor?   Later that evening, do you wat...

Street music to street hockey (and a zip line)

COVINGTON, Ky. - Come Monday, a lot of people are going to be really tired.   From street music to street hockey to underground street art, there’s something for everyone in LoveTheCov this weekend.   Giant Jenga. Yoga. Human Foosball. Fashion photography. An urban living tour. Heavy metal. A new beer. Sketching lessons.   There really is too much for a sane person to do. &nbs...

Original art, Pumpkin ale & German brass

COVINGTON, Ky. - We sound like a broken record (side note: that image and saying need to be updated to reflect today’s world of modern technology), but we continue to be amazed at the sheer number of things to do each weekend in #LoveTheCov.   In fact, we’d have to hire a part-timer to work every Thursday putting together this list, were we determined to list every opportunity for...

WEEKEND: Lots of options to try something new

COVINGTON, Ky. - Sure, you knew about Oktoberfest and the Covington Farmers Market, but did you know that in Covington this weekend you could watch roller derby, attend a tattoo convention, and see a movie in a cemetery?   And then there’s a casting call, a book signing, pottery for beginners, yoga, an art exhibit opening, a music festival etc. etc.   Who knows what the skies will ...
