We had a wonderful time at the 2026 Lexington Lions Club Bluegrass Fair!

For years, the Lions Club has been a valued supporter of iTNBluegrass and countless other local nonprofits. This year's fair welcomed an incredible 54,148 attendees who raised over $250,000, all of which will support charitable organizations throughout our community, including iTNBluegrass. We had the privilege of providing a meal on Saturday for all the tireless volunteers that help make this event great.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's fair a success!

Please join us in welcoming two new volunteer drivers to the iTNBluegrass family! 👋

Liz Debski is a retired University of Kentucky professor of biology and neuroscience. Liz volunteers as a driver on Friday afternoons and is already helping connect riders with the places they need to go.

Lorraine Butler is a Lexington native whose career included owning and operating a local child care center with her family. Lorraine now shares her time with iTNBluegrass, serving riders on Wednesday mornings.

We are grateful to Liz and Lorraine for choosing to give back through iTNBluegrass and look forward to the positive impact they will make in the lives of our riders. drivealittlechangealot.com

It's not always easy to stay active, especially as you age. Reframing your mindset and learning what you like and what feels sustainable can make a big difference.

Here are 5 easy tips to add more movement to your daily life:

1. Have fun and try new things! This will keep you interested and engaged.
2. Find activities that work for your fitness level and mobility. Gentle stretching and sitting exercises are a good place to start if you're not sure.
3. Incorporate exercise into your existing routine. Park a little farther away if able, or do 15-30 minutes of house or yard work. Little choices that build in activity definitely count!
4. Discover indoor and outdoor activities you enjoy to give yourself options depending on the weather.
5. Make realistic goals. Start small if you're a beginner and don't push yourself past your limits.
