Faith via Facebook & books by bike

COVINGTON, Ky. - You can’t walk very far in Covington without seeing a church (and usually three or four). That’s testament (pun intended) to this city’s strong German Catholic heritage and its vibrant faith community of all denominations.   So it goes without saying that Easter weekend is an important time for a lot of people, spiritually speaking. Easter is also ...

Having fun, social distancing style

COVINGTON, Ky. - “You can’t be doing that” has become a statewide catchphrase, thanks to Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear’s daily briefings on the coronavirus pandemic, and, as much as we hate to do it, good sense requires we start off this COVID-19 Edition of our weekly narrative events calendar with that quick admonition.   The weather is supposed to be nice for ...

Andy & virtual fun

COVINGTON, Ky. - Call this the #Weekend in LoveTheCov, COVID-19 Edition.   It’s going to warm up this weekend, if not be sunny, and ordinarily we’d be shouting for joy and bragging about what a cool place LovetheCov is to hang with friends.   These aren’t ordinary times, obviously. Y’all know why.   It’s been three weeks since our last lively “#We...

Stay healthy & safe

COVINGTON, Ky. - We will not be publishing our #Weekend in LoveTheCov narrative events calendar this week.   One, we appreciate the opportunity to distract and entertain. But our usual jocular and irreverent approach (and any attempt at gallows humor) would be tone deaf given the magnitude of the historical crisis that is enveloping us with the global spread of the coronavirus that causes the...

5-horned rhinos, influencers & ‘Her’

COVINGTON, Ky. - Sunday is International Women’s Day, and - if you can’t make it to Crafts & Vines TONIGHT for its Women Winemakers Tasting HERE - you can go to Devou Park on Saturday for a cool lineup of events at BCM.   Otherwise this weekend, #LoveTheCov features 5-horned rhino beetles, slamming bodies, peaceful meditation, a new local beer, a digital-in...

Fatheads, ‘Galaxy Grass’ & Hapkido

COVINGTON, Ky. - Either winter is growing short, or an epidemic of cabin fever has inspired an avalanche of cool events.   This weekend in LoveTheCov, there’s the return of the Mardi Gras Parade, a five-course dinner and art experience, a hot bluegrass band, Cher’s dress exhibit, a self-defense seminar, yoga with puppies, a gathering for high-level soccer enthusiasts, a wine class...

4-course dinners & Fornassinus russus

COVINGTON, Ky. - If you don’t instantly recognize the significance of Feb. 14, there’s no need to read on.   Because whether you look to Robert Herrick (“How love came in I do not know ...”), the Bible (“Set me as a seal upon your heart ...”), Shakespeare “Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps ...”), or AC/DC (“She was a ...”...

Performance art & paparazzi

COVINGTON, Ky. - This weekend has a performed/performing/performance theme.   It also features a decidedly feminine touch, what with Galentine’s Day (when did that become such a thing?), belly dancing, an exhibit of Cher’s fabulous beaded dresses, and a night at the cabaret - (not to be confused with Cabernet, which could also make its appearance at several events in #LoveTheCov t...

James Brown & belly dancing

COVINGTON, Ky. - We’re going to be bold (Hint: our use of that word is sarcastic) andsay many if not most of you will be in a room Sunday with the TV turned on. Whether it’s the game, the half-time show, the commercials, or the food around you that’s the biggest attraction, we cannot say.   Of course, you have to fill your time leading up to Sunday, and THAT is where we...

Turkuaz, Technicolor & tax prep

COVINGTON, Ky. - No doubt you’ve noticed that we almost always go for the cheap-and-easy alliteration in our headlines for “Weekend in LovetheCov.”   As we tried to sum up this weekend’s events, we were torn between the letter “T” (as you can see above) or the letter “M” (in which case we’d have written “Meatloaf, medi...
