Guests partied until late in the night on Friday at the Derby Eve Gala. The bash was held at the historic Seelbach Hotel. Though sadly, Jay Gatsby failed to make an appearance, many other guests kicked up their dancing shoes for a night of rollicking fun.

The Gala was sponsored by Kindred Healthcare and PharMerica. All of the proceeds from the evening went to the American Lung Association, which supports research, education and policy work in the fight against lung disease.

The smoking, general rudeness and simulated copulation makes me give this place a big thumbs down for a place of tweenage good, clean fun.It's also might be the worst place for people of any age to walk by in the Highlands on a weekend night.

But hey, this is what happens when big businesses who care less about customer happiness and more about the bottom line encroach into the Highlands.

Ever since the cold weather rolled in, I've been a little stir-crazy sitting around the house watching my son trying to eat the dog's tail.  And unfortunately, the month of January never seems to be abound with  activities for children. This is why I was ecstatic when I found out about all of the offerings that the Louisville Free Public Library has for kids this month.
