COVINGTON, Ky. – At first blush, those two topics might seem incongruent. One evokes coziness and comfort while the other spurs a watch-where-you-step shudder. But read on. Each plays a role in this weekend’s list of fun and entertainment in The Cov. All told, there is plenty to play, sip, stitch, see, and hear this weekend, including pickleball, tarot readings, art exhibits, concer...

COVINGTON, Ky. – Your weekend in The Cov can begin and end with some fascinating history lessons. The weekend’s calendar is book-ended with a bit of bourbon history tonight (with an interesting Covington connection) and burlesque history on Sunday. Each are equally fascinating and involve a good time to be had by all who participate. There’s plenty of fun things to do in be...

Mailed program guide includes youth soccer, Halloween walk, Easter egg hunt, Fishing Derby, softball & hoops (EDITOR'S NOTE: The ages for the youth soccer league have expanded to ages 4 to 7 since this release was published. That has been changed in the text below.) COVINGTON, Ky. – The 2022 Covington Parks & Recreation Guide will be landing in your mailbox soon, and it...

COVINGTON, Ky. – Did you know that the first recorded Mardi Gras street parade in New Orleans took place in 1837? Decades later, six men organized a rather clandestine Mistick Krewe of Comus and held a parade with the theme, “The Demon Actors in Milton’s Paradise Lost” and held a lavish ball. Demons on parade. Now that’s something to behold. Some theories maintain ...

COVINGTON, Ky. – The Super Bowl is over. Too soon for March Madness. Valentines’ Day came and went. The weather, in a word, is gloomy. The ground’s too frozen to till, and the water is too cold to paddle (for most of us). However, there’s no need to despair at home. Here in the The Cov, even a light weekend calendar has fun to be had, starting tonight: 'Black&#...

COVINGTON, Ky. – All of you happily in love couples better hope our neighbors to the north win the big game on Sunday. If not, the region’s collective depression, dejection and discouragement would make it a little difficult to celebrate with enthusiasm Monday, the day the candy-and-card industry has set aside for love and romance. (We’re confident, of course. The way we se...

COVINGTON, Ky. – The odds of you wanting to leave your house this weekend are slim. We get it. We’d just as soon stay put too. Make a fire, grab a book, drink hot chocolate, or warm up with bourbon. But … we have a job to do, and that job is to inform you of the always cool, wonderful, entertaining, tasty, and just plain overall worthwhile things to do in The Cov, come wee...

COVINGTON, Ky. – Why is January soooo long? And cold? And gray? And why does Mercury have to be retrograde now? Ugh. (Insert “woe is me” emoji here). Enough. Time to get out and enjoy the (last) weekend of this seemingly endless month (finally). If cookie and beer pairings can’t jolt us out of winter doldrums, then what on earth possibly can? Perhaps a classic stor...

COVINGTON, Ky. – Did you know that raindrops are actually just tears from angels crying over the death of Betty White? At least that’s our theory. We’re still in mourning over the death of the beloved actress Dec. 31, just 17 days shy of her 100th birthday.   If you are too, you’ll be interested in knowing that there are two (2!) events in Latonia this weekend...

COVINGTON, Ky. – The holiday tree is dropping needles, the mulled wine is gone, Omicron is exploding, the air is bitter, and a little bit of snow is falling (and not the snowman-building kind, just the pain-in-the-broken-wrist kind) … Fortunately, we have two things going for us: One, the Snow and Ice Team out at Public Works is about the best there is when it comes to keeping C...
