Have a blast at 4th of July celebrations
Fun is spread out around the holiday By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com
Whether you love freedom, food or fireworks, there’s plenty of places for Boone County residents to celebrate Independence Day. The city of Union kicks off a week of celebrating with its Union Celebrates America Friday, June 29. The celebration features a parade at 6:30 p.m. that will start at the Union Kroger, then turn right onto Mt. Zion Road and right again onto Old Union Road. After the parade, there will be concerts, food and a station to send cards to troops in Union’s Adopt-a-Unit. Fireworks begin at dark. The Belleview Baptist Church Independence Day Celebration will be Sunday, July 1, at Belleview Baptist Cemetery.
A parade starts at the church at 10:30 a.m. and everyone is invited to participate then go to the cemetery for a special service. A few days later, Florence will hold its Independence Day celebration from 5-11 p.m. Tuesday, July 3. Throughout the event, the kids zone will feature mural painting as well as balloon artists and glitter tattoos. In addition, there will be rides and games along with food from vendors like Kona Ice and IGA Express. Starting at 6 p.m. there will be a patriotic salute by the Florence Police Honor Guard followed by patriotic music from the Florence Community Band. From 6-8 p.m. the city will have its cruise in/car show. Entry into the show is free, and the first 75 cars to enter will get dash plaques.

‘BUY YOCAL’
By Libby Cunningham Lcunningham@nky.com
On a sunny Wednesday in Covington, a man walking along Scott Street stopped outside the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center, and cocked his head at a painting seemingly plopped in the lawn in front of the building. After wondering aloud about what would happen to the art piece as soon as inclement weather roared in, he walked on, with others unknowingly following in his footsteps. They too displayed the same knee-jerk reaction to the painting “A Woman with a Cittern and a Singing Couple at a Table” by Pieter de Hooch. “We are excited to hear people happen upon them like that and sort of do a double-take,” said Tricia Suit, manager of marketing and communications with CincinSee ART, Page A2

RABBIT HASH — A new arts and craft market, which will operate once a month in Rabbit Hash, encourages residents to “think locally and buy yocally.” The Folksiders Market, first opened on June 10, features Folksider artisans from the Tristate region.

cians. Anyone, she said, “who had a keen eye and love for beautiful things.” They wanted to turn that into “an art market experience we could share with our community,” Utley said.
