64°F11:55 AM The Earth Day party of the century rages on all month at the Louisville Zoo [Family & Parenting]
Earth Day was established more than forty years ago as an environmental "teach-in" designed to raise awareness about ecology and the preservation of our precious ecosystem. Since then, and thanks to its official sanction by the UN, it has been celebrated every year in more than 175 countries around the world, and has energized whole populations to create lasting policies that protect our planet's future.
Easter Brunch Round Up [Food & Dining]
You know how it goes; every Easter you stand, uncomfortable in a scratchy suit, keeping your greedy paws clasped behind your back in an attempt to stop yourself from stealing candy meant for kids. Little ones in their Easter finery shriek and giggle with chocolate stained faces, chomping jelly beans, and your stomach rumbles through the early service.
It's time to take to the streets to celebrate the end of March Madness and the coming of Easter with the 20th Annual Frankfort Avenue Easter Parade [Family & Parenting]
To some, it may seem as though Kentucky's win over the Louisville Cardinals this past Saturday was like Christmas come nine months early. But in only a week, the most important holiday of the Christian calendar, to which Christmas plays second fiddle, will be upon us. To celebrate Easter, the Frankfort Avenue Business Association invites families of all background and creeds this Saturday, April 7, to its 20th Annual Easter Parade.
Easter-ly things to do [Family and Parenting]
I don't know about you but Easter weekend has almost taken me by surprise. I knew it was coming. I have been buying goodies to fill Easter baskets for the kids. We've colored eggs. I have even bought a ham for dinner. But today, Good Friday, it HIT me. <
Easter hats for the kiddos [Fashion]
Unique Surroundings has the cutest Easter hats for kids. I took my little one there and tried them all on - of course, she chose the pinkest hat of the bunch. They range in cost between $11 and $17 and can be customized to match her Easter dress. They also sell Derby hats - which I'll profile in a separate post.
Easter, the other Derby event [Family and parenting]
Between a twenty-three minute fireworks display and the anticipation of the most exciting two-minutes in sports, it's easy for Easter to creep up on us in Louisville. Let's face it, holy week sometimes takes a back-seat when you live in the Derby City. With hats, hand-bags, and horses on the brain, it's hard to honor the bunny that inevitably will be coming to town next Saturday.
Blankenbaker or Broadway? Southeast Christian's Easter Pageant rises to glory [Theater]
The spectacle of Southeast Christian’s Easter Pageant is unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed. The production values rival (if not surpass) that of most Broadway musicals; and with seating for over 7,500 patrons, the venue itself is something to behold.
The story begins over 2,000 years ago when an angel visits a young virgin girl named Mary. The angel tells Mary that she is going to give birth to…
Well, I’ll stop there.
Southeast Christian's Easter Pageant takes the stage for the final time [theater]
Since 1995, the Louisville community has witnessed an Easter pageant like no other. This year marks the final year of the Southeast Christian Classic Easter Pageant.
The Pageant, as you might imagine, follows the story of Jesus, from birth to resurrection. But, Southeast Christian, as in everything else, depicts that story on a grand scale.
Parsnip Pete: A scarce sight in Louisville stores
After stumbling on a blog posted in the spring of 2009 by someone lamenting the scarcity in New Jersey of beloved 7-oz. milk chocolate bunny Parsnip Pete, I started thinking such a retail travesty could never happen in Louisville. Not in our city. Surely, this delicious Easter treat, a traditional favorite among hollow milk chocolate bunny fans for years, has got to still be well-stocked in area stores. It pains me to say that I was mistaken.
