Happy last Friday in June, friend!  Have big plans for the weekend? With a list like this, yes – yes, you do!

On Friday night we’ve got pollinators and painting. On Saturday, the farmers market, the inaugural Main Street Bash, a literacy event, live music, and more. And then Sunday? Ayanna said she’d better see you in Frazier Park for Bull Day, the annual anti-violence event in honor of her late brother, Orlandus “Bull” Cobbins. And don’t miss fireworks that night at First Baptist Covington.

Here are the details:
