There are now fewer than six months on the “countdown to WEG” clocks around town.

We here in Lexington and at the KY Horse Park expect to be welcoming many thousands of visitors from around the world this fall. We have 200 people signed up on our CAA trip alone!

So for anyone reading this blog who’s coming to WEG (or is just curious about Lexington) and who’s never been to Lex. or not spent much time here, except perhaps at the Horse Park … we’re getting ready to start two new features here on the CAA blog.

At least every two weeks (starting in May), we’ll feature a new installment in what will become our CAA restaurant guide. My husband and I will introduce you to a wide variety of local restaurants … some are favorites of ours, some we’ve been meaning to try but haven’t yet.

Then, on alternating weeks, we’ll feature a story and/or photos about something to see or do here in Lexington and the surrounding area. On this list so far: historic houses, the brewery tour at Alltech (title sponsor of the WEG), Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill, bourbon distilleries, Keeneland, and more. Let us know if there’s something/somewhere else you’d like to know about.

We love our city, and we hope that you will too!
