Raise A Glass!

If you are a fan of Bob Hoppmann, St. Nicholas Family Clinic or the Electric Morning Show (and really, who isn’t!), be bar-side on Thursday from 5-8pm at The Pasta House. Bob’s weekly wine tasting will feature celebrity bartenders AJ & Mitch from the Electric Morning Show on 96.9. $5 buys you five tickets, one for each glass of wine that you choose to sample. Plus, half-priced appetizers! Proceeds benefit St. Nicholas Family Clinic, which provides quality health care to working individuals and families without the financial resources necessary to pay for private insurance and/or medical care.

AJ & Mitch are so welcoming each time I visit their show. Cheers, fellas! Loves it!

2010 Paducah Summer Festival

The Paducah Summer Festival opens this week! This family-friendly event will be held on The Carson Center front lawn, and includes great food, fabulous music, the 20/30 Group’s Kick ball tournament, Budweiser’s Beer on the Bricks, Kidz Day at The Quilt Museum and The USO Big Band Dance hosted by Legacy Personal Care Home. Been practicing the “couch potato”? Show your stuff during The Furniture World 100, sponsored by Furniture World Galleries & Mattress Superstore. This 100-yard dash involves your old recliner supped up with fancy racing wheels and a good buddy to push you (fully reclined) to the finish line.

Join us Thursday as IList Paducah shows some Local Love, 5pm-10pm with The Union Suit, Jennifer Fox and the Pillow Fighters and Bawn in the Mash.

This is one of the longest running festivals in Paducah. Loves it!
