AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Tourism & Events: Bowling Green’s Duncan Hines Days drew 14,300 visitors across 15 states and generated about $2.25 million for the region, with day-trippers making up most of the crowd and the Eats & Beats music fest as the biggest draw. Public Safety for Travelers: UK Extension is urging Kentuckians to stay tick-aware as summer ramps up—wear long pants, use DEET, do full tick checks after being outdoors, and remove ticks with fine-tipped tweezers. Family Travel Planning: AAA says July 4 road trips remain the top choice, with many families aiming for historic sites and national parks for America’s 250th—plus advice to leave early and watch for roadside workers. Road Updates: I-64 in Franklin County will see alternating lane closures (9 a.m.–3 p.m.) between mile markers 48 and 52 for bridge maintenance. Community & Culture: A Lexington church’s “Commandos for Christ” Vacation Bible School skit—featuring children chanting “take him out, blow him up” during a mock “shooting the devil”—has gone viral, sparking debate over faith, violence, and kids’ safety. Disaster Relief: Heavy flooding hit Wilmore, displacing one family and leaving them waiting on Red Cross next steps.
