Rich Copley: Red, White & Boom, John Prine, LAL Food Fight, and Lex Pride 2015

Rich Copley, via Twitter

It's time for our weekly chat with Rich Copley of the Lexington Herald Leader for a look at this weekend's arts and cultural activities. 

In years past, the country music event ‘Red, White and Boom’ was a part of downtown Lexington’s July 4th activities. As Rich tells WEKU’s Jonese Franklin, this year ‘Boom’ is a celebration all on its own. 

Also discussed:

  • John Prine at the Singletary Center
  • Lexington Art League's Food Fight
  • 8th Annual Lexington Pride Festival 

Rich Copley covers arts and culture for the Lexington Herald Leader and Lexgo.com, where you’ll find out more about the weekend’s events.

You can also find a list of arts and cultural activities on the WEKU Event Calendar
