Town Hall to Review Budget

This Thursday night, May 10th I have requested that all citizens join me and the council for a discussion about our city's proposed budget.

We will continue to have an open government for the city and this is part of that process.  We must all come together to determine our future and I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow night at the Lexington Civic Center, starting at 6:00pm.

BBQ PitMasters

The Capital City BBQ Cook-off was a wonderful success for the city with well over 18,000 people attending the two day event.

The BBQ PitMasters TV series also visited Lexington during the two day event and we will be the focus of the season finale for the show.  I had the honor of representing the city and our citizens as the turn-in judge for the show.  Once we know when it airs we will post the date and time, so you can watch along as we continue to spread positive words about our community.

BBQ Cook-off is here!

Lexington's 2nd annual BBQ Cook-off is coming this Friday and Saturday and again will be a KCBS event, hosted by Uptown Lexington, Inc.

Last year I was able to judge and I am again scheduled to judge this year. Everyone come out and enjoy great BBQ and family fun.  I'll see you Uptown in our Depot District for the Cook-off, we will also be hosting the season finale of PitMasters from TLC.
