Spotlight Lexington Festival Rundown

A night on the town with some favorite ballet girls!!

Lookie what I have...I'm sure you can find this somewhere else but I thought I'd post it here for those considering what they can do in Lexington over the course of the next two weeks besides looking at horses!!
Oh...and Monday, I'm thinking that we might need to bike HorseMania (and stop for lots of food and coffee along the way.  Six Friends Cafe, anyone?
