The Kentucky Equine Humane Center has been on Catnip Hill Road in Nicholasville since the day it opened back in 2007. Their need is for volunteers to help maintain a safe home for horses that have been mistreated and abused in their past lives. Rehabilitation is always useful before finding them a new home.

One of many historical buildings in downtown Lexington at Gratz Park has probably caught your eye at least once, but you may not know what it is. The Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning is what today exists in the beautiful building that was once home to Lexington’s Carnegie Library. Like the library before it, today’s center is reading and learning focused. What many do not know is that it heavily incorporates the second “r” as well. Writing workshops and retreats are organized by the center and are often led by some of Kentucky’s own notable authors. The building even houses a resource room for writers, stacked floor to ceiling of books on writing and similar topics.
