‘Two-Headed Calf’ awards honor service, history & learning
COVINGTON, Ky. – With exhibits that displayed a shrunken head, a cow hairball, and a human hair wreath, the officials who run Behringer-Crawford Museum used to be a little embarrassed by BCM’s former reputation for freaks and oddities.

COVINGTON, Ky. - We’re going to bend our rules and talk not only about the weekend in #LoveTheCov but also about next Tuesday because ... well ... for obvious reasons.

COVINGTON, Ky. - In a city with a lot of unique bars and restaurants, it’s no surprise that the 85th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition is going to be celebrated.
How you celebrate it is up to you: This weekend in #LoveTheCov, you can drink a little (at a lot of places), or you can go listen to a jazz tribute or watch a dance troupe.

COVINGTON, Ky. - There’s a Christmas theme to just about everything going on in #LoveTheCov this weekend, but that doesn’t mean the calendar is homogeneous.

Suffice to say there’s a wide array of fun things to do, from the annual return of a much-loved holiday train display (and a little White House Christmas history) to a new beer honoring...
