Hey, Laura. Great list of things to do, I really like the Shag Dance on the Pavilion. Maria and I took lessons a while back. Thanks, Jim
You make me wish I lived near you...lots to do and to see, and a great informative post.

Helping you live your American dream...
Live Jazz, that made me sad as we have lost all our little Jazz and Blues clubs here in Portland when the economy tanked.
This is really useful info for people living in or moving to Lexington. Very nice.
Hi Laura, I love your list of things to do. My daugther would probably enjoy the Snakes in the Library. We just came from the pet store, and she expressed her wish of owning one. Ugh - that'll have to wait until she moves out.
