So, set out in some shoes and clothes that you don’t care to get muddy, (you’ll be provided with gloves, litter grabbers, and trash bags), expect sore muscles, a sense of accomplishment, and maybe a few surprises along the banks of that might river.įast-paced full contact and a whole lot of action is happening around the track on Saturday when the Black-n-Bluegrass rollers take on Louisville Roller Derby for the Black-n-Bluegrass Derby BOUT at Hits Indoor Baseball and Sportsplex. The thing is, whatever isn’t picked up will soon wash into the river, and keeping it clean is the ultimate goal. ( That last one might likely hurled into the water by an exhausted parent.) Past years have seen a wheelchair tire, baby dolls, a shopping cart, a basketball rim, and a Big Wheel. What range of debris are we talking about? Certainly if it floats it, it can wind up on the riverbank. You never know what you’ll find along the banks of the Ohio River, but on Saturday you can see what you come up with when you volunteer to clean trash from its banks as part of the Covington “leg” of the national River Sweep 2023 activities. With a keen eye and a talent for storytelling, her work had a special quality that engaged the viewer and made her a favorite of advertisers. Maddux’s elaborate fashion drawings of dresses, coats, hats, and other haute couture were used for Reeds of Hyde Park, McAlpin’s, Mabley & Carew, Pogue’s, Shillito’s, Tall Fashions, Macperth Sportswear, and more. People took notice of Maddux’s talent and you can too at The Art of Fashion: Fay Applegarth Maddux at Behringer-Crawford Museum tonight ( and every day but Monday now through August 20). Working from her home into the late hours of the night, Covington native Fay Applegarth Maddux was a fashionista who pursued her art, despite the demands of motherhood, home management, and a cultural environment of women not earning their own wages. We won’t hold you up here with a bunch of verbiage about how great it all is, so scroll down, let the good and worthy events speak for themselves, and start making plans. – Some weekends just have a whole bunch of good stuff going on and this is one of those weekends.Īrt, community projects, music, cocktails, poetry, a roller derby, and a whole lot more.
