Spring is trying to wiggle its way out of winter's final clutches, which means it's time to get excited about the F.A.T. Friday Trolley Hop again. The event, which takes place the final Friday of every month, just isn't the same when it's cold outside. Free trolleys take revelers up and down Frankfort, Mellwood and Story avenues from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Almost forgot: Oftentimes, free booze is in abundant supply. 

During the year's first F.A.T. Friday trolley hop tonight, the restaurant It's All Greek to Me is offering bellydancing lessons (sexy), Kaviar Forge and Gallery is conducting forge tours (toasty) and the Wine Rack has vino to pair with chili (tasty).

This run/walk kicks off Light Up Louisville, which is probably a rally in support of Kentucky's biggest cash crop. Proceeds from the inaugural event benefit the Baptist Hospital Foundation and its patient care and wellness services. The registration fee is $25 for adults and $10 for children under 12 and includes a t-shirt you can wear to show off how sporty you are.
