We’ll be sending you our newsletter for the next five days, but if you’re not feeling it after that, we’ll call it quits — no action required. If you like what you see, click any link in this email, and each morning, we’ll keep sending the most relevant news, events, and updates from around Lexington. Our newsletters are completely free to receive and you can unsubscribe at any time.
It’s April Fool’s Day — or as the French say, <<poisson d’avril>>.
Pin a fish on your friends and see how long it takes them to notice.
We don’t have any tricks up our sleeves this year, but if you see any good jokes from other local brands or news outlets, be sure to send them our way + we may share our favorites in an upcoming newsletter.
