Mother Nature at work!

Howdy everyone. As a lot of you know, each year we do a special edition 18x24 foil poster to raise money for Roho Charitable Trust, which is a local nonprofit that helps underprivileged area kids during Christmas. Getting one of these prints in the past has been tricky, as they are usually limited to 100 and means you have to get at the event as soon the event starts.

This year, we are gonna try and make this a little less stressful by allowing pre-orders on these prints. Youll need to have a PayPal account. This years print, seen below, is done by the incredibly talented Logan Schmitt Illustration. It depicts three iconic landmarks at Pine Mountain State Resort Park: Chained Rock, Honeymoon Falls, and Powderhorn Arch (along with the iconic great horned owl, the unofficial symbol of our festival).

We will be emailing folks within the hour with instructions on how they can preorder up to 2 prints to secure them for the festival. The preorder period will ONLY last a few days because we need to get the number off to print. These will still be very limited, and no more than 200 will be available. If you do not preorder, the chances of getting one will be very slim, as we are not ordering many (if any) more than the preorder number we get (and once it hits 200, we cut it off).

So keep an eye out on your email that you have your tickets through for info coming within the hour!

Today we broke ground on Fayette County’s first public river park, located off Old Richmond Road near the I-75 bridge. Kelley’s Landing is named for the late John Kelley. The City bought the property from the Kelley family in 2022. It will soon be a beautiful, 30-acre public park, allowing kayakers and canoeists to get into the river and travel 12 miles between locks. There will also be trails for hiking. The Fund for Greater Lexington is investing in the park through a master plan process, which will allow the community to contribute to the overall design of the park.
