Virtual First Friday - A Simple Justice: Kentucky Women Fight for the Vote with Dr. Melanie Beals Goan
-
2020 has been a year of commemoration, marking 100 years since the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote. As we close out this season, join us via Zoom* as Dr. Melanie Beals Goan shares deeper insights into the battle for women’s suffrage in the Commonwealth. As her research reveals, in Kentucky, “women’s suffrage was not simply a question of whether women could and should vote; it carried more serious implications for white supremacy and for the balance of federal and state powers — especially in a border state.” In addition to well-known activists such as Laura Clay and Madeline McDowell Breckinridge, Goan will introduce “individuals across the Bluegrass State who did their part to move the nation closer to achieving its founding ideals.” Come and join the virtual conversation! Please register here, and you will receive information on how to connect. The registration deadline is 10 am on the day of the event. Questions? Contact us at KHSeducation@ky.gov or call 502-782-8070.

The Magic of Santa’s Wonderland continues in-person at Cabela’s Shops featuring FREE photos with Santa
-
Cabela’s is proud to invite families to the beloved tradition of visiting Santa Claus in person this holiday season, with a reimagined free Santa’s Wonderland experience in Lexington.
The contactless visit with Santa includes a comprehensive approach to help ensure everyone’s safety throughout the event. Key elements include:
• Free Digital Reservations: Advance digital reservations are required for all guests and can be made online. Spots are limited to allow appropriate physical distancing and additional cleaning.
• Temperature Screening: All families and team members will complete temperature screening with a non-contact thermometer prior to entering Santa’s Wonderland.
• Magic Santa Shield: An innovative, glare-free clear protective barrier will be in place between Santa and families at all times to allow for a contactless experience. The shield is cleaned and sanitized between each visit.
• Physical Distancing: Families will standby in a designated area away from other shoppers with fun winter wonderland-themed floor decals and signage to ensure a safe distance.
• Santa’s Sanitation Squad: Santa’s team of elves will clean all surfaces between each visit and frequently ensure all safety measures are being implemented correctly.
• Face coverings: All team members throughout the store are required to wear face coverings. Customer requirements vary by location based on local public health guidelines.
Santa will be cruising into Lexington Saturday, Nov. 7 to officially kick off Santa’s Wonderland.
Families are invited to Cabela’s to welcome Santa in an outdoor event as he officially arrives from the North Pole.
Contactless visits with Santa will start on Nov. 8 and advance reservations can be made beginning on Nov. 2. To learn more, and make a reservation, visit www.cabelas.com/santa.
