Letter: Midweek Farmers Market definitely worth checking out Connie Youngs writes: I went to the Farmers Market today and was quite pleased with the selection. While not as many vendors as on Saturday, there were still plenty of options. I did not purchase as much as I would have liked. There were baked goods at a couple different booths (bought sourdough bread), including pizza which tasted like homemade, some produce, honey, jams, etc.Comments re: Mid-week Farmers Market begins Wednesday 2025-07-02 12:56:42 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Lindsey Wilson University community celebrates Historic Day Louisville, KY - With warm congratulations from the governor of Kentucky and a packed room of well-wishers, Lindsey Wilson University celebrated an "incredibly historic day" at the Speed Art Museum on Tuesday evening. After serving Kentucky for more than a century as Lindsey Wilson College, the school became Lindsey Wilson University on July 1, 2025.

Luckey Jr. said the school might have a different name, but its focus remains squarely on students. "Our only goal has been to provide the richest and the warmest possible environment for our students and faculty to excel," said Luckey, who has been Lindsey Wilson's eighth president since 1998 and is the longest-serving college or university president in Kentucky.
