The Void Sake Co. is debuting its first Ladies Only Brunch on Sunday, March 8, channeling “Friday Midnight at Sunday Noon” energy.
The 21+ event will feature charcuterie from Rose & Brie, a 1990s-themed cocktail, and three hours of dancing, games, and singalongs. Think: diva hits.
Expect an event full of bottomless mimosas, raucous laughter, and nostalgia through the roof.

A Kentucky bowler made history last week, shooting three perfect games in a row. Erik Howard achieved the feat at Kingpin Lanes in Jeffersontown, and for context, that’s 36 consecutive strikes. Howard is just the 42nd bowler to achieve the feat in the United States. (WLKY)

Calling all educators. UK’s upcoming Water Education for Kentucky Workshop is for educators who want to learn how to bring environmental lessons into their teaching. It costs $50 to sign up for the Tuesday, March 24 event at The Arboretum.
Cause
Transform your demo into a donation. Lexington Habitat for Humanity’s Deconstruction Program lets you clear out kitchen materials at no cost, with items finding a second life at the ReStore. Psst… It’s an easy way to support affordable housing while keeping waste out of the landfill.*
The clocks are springing forward in five days. If your glass is half-empty, you lose an hour of sleep. If your glass is half-full, that’s more time for daylight activities + enjoying the great outdoors.
