Irvine McDowell ParkThe Halloween Hoe-Down is a family friendly event designed for children to have a safe place to Trick or Treat in Richmond. Back in the 1940's, a Halloween festival was held and attracted numerous community members to downtown Richmond. In 2006, the Richmond Parks & Recreation Department restructured their Boo Bash to be incorporated downtown with other outdoor festivities. In 2011 it was moved to the Irvine McDowell Park to create a festival atmosphere. The Halloween Hoe-Down continues to be a great success and a wonderful event for the whole community.
The festival will begin at 2:00pm and continue until 6:00pm. Free Activities include Kids Games, Train Rides, a Petting Zoo, Walk Around Characters, and Face painting. A Special “Thank You” goes out to the Eastern Kentucky University Recreation & Parks Administration REC 460 Class for helping to organize the games, decorations, and contests this year. They will be using this as a service learning project.

Whisper of the Wild Opening Reception
Sep 18, 2012 5:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M.
Gallery on Main, 128 W. Main Street, Richmond, KYFeatured artist, Crimson Duvall, uses her personal experiences, nature, motherhood and fairytales to create visual stories by painting on canvas and sculpting ceramic, coil-built creatures. She then places them in environments of mixed media and found objects that enrich the pieces with previous histories. With these two bodies of work, Inklings (paintings and drawings) and Wild Flowers (sculptures), a tale of an esoteric world full of Crimson’s creatures begins to unfold.

Cell Phones for Soldiers Roadside Party
Nov 6, 2010 10am - 2pm
Richmond(Richmond, Kentucky) Give an American soldier a chance to talk to loved ones just by bringing your used cell phones to the Liberty Tax Service office at 620 Big Hill Avenue, Suite #5. Join Liberty Tax Service for the Cell Phones for Soldiers Roadside Party. This collection event takes place November 6th from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Liberty Tax will provide refreshments, food, free crowns for children and also offer free tax advice. The goal is to fill up the “Liberty mobile’s” trunk with cell phones. All Liberty Tax offices are collection locations for used cell phones to benefit Cell Phones for Soldiers. After the roadside party the Libertymobile will move over to the EKU campus where cell phones may continue to be collected until the beginning of the EKU vs. Jacksonville State football game!
Cell Phones for Soldiers makes contact with home a reality for soldiers stationed in Iraq and overseas who face excessive phone calling charges. This dilemma prompted two concerned teenagers to start CPFS with $14 of their snack money. Teenagers Brittany and Robbie Bergquist of Norwell, Massachusetts and their family enlisted the help of sponsors and phone companies to recycle used cell phones to provide calling cards. As a National Premier Partner, Liberty Tax Service has contributed over 12 million minutes of calling time for our military since 2004. The Website (www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com) has details for those who would like to make cash donations.
“If you’re one of 153 million cell phone users who upgrade and don’t know what to do with that old phone, help a soldier and take it to Liberty Tax Service . There is a huge potential to make a difference with over half of the people holding on to old phones and not recycling,” said Jonell Hinton, of Liberty Tax Service . “This is an easy way to make a difference for those serving America overseas.”
