Sports lovers should make a stop at the Louisville Slugger Museum, Kentucky Derby Museum, and Muhammad Ali Center; history lovers can sip mint juleps on a river cruise aboard the Belle of Louisville, a National Historic Landmark. This and so much more is possible in Louisville. There is a lot to do, as in, whatever you want. And we’ve got some ideas for you in our monthly podcasts at www.GoToLouisville.com. – Jim Wood

Registering to Vote Citizens must register to vote in Kentucky at least 29 days prior to an election in order to be able to vote in that election. This year, the deadline for voter registration is October 10th, at which time registrants must choose a political party affiliation (Democratic, Republican, or “other;” those who choose “other” must write in the name of their preferred party). There are many places at which citizens can register, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find a location that’s convenient. Voter registration is authorized at: · the driver’s license office, · the Kentucky Transitional Assistance Program (K-TAP) offices, · food stamp offices, · Medicaid offices, · WIC and state-funded offices serving those with disabilities, · armed forces recruitment offices, · high schools, · through mail-in voter registration, and, of course, · at the county clerk’s office. For those cutting it close to the deadline, the county clerk’s office is probably the safest bet to ensure that they don’t miss out. Nearly 3 million Kentucky residents are currently registered to vote in the November 6th election, of which, about 1.7 million are registered Democrats and just more than 1 million are registered Republicans. For those among the 1.3 million unregistered residents of the Bluegrass state, registering to vote is a free process, and one of the only ways in which citizens can personally have a voice in the way the government works. 2 WHiGL October 3 - October 16, 2012 | Your Guide to Louisville Since 1951 | whigl.com

Caufield's annual Halloween Parade will return for innumerable fun and frights on October 12th, starting at 7 pm. The only parade in Louisville dedicated exclusively to Halloween, every year this event fills the streets with ghouls, goblins, and creatures of the night. Many local haunted attractions (including Baxter Avenue Morgue), costume stores, and related Halloween merchandisers and event specialists will come out for the event, which is geared towards getting the entire family into the spirit of this spooky season. The route begins on Bardstown Road at Rosewood Avenue and will travel north, ending at Baxter at Lexington Road. The procession will feature almost 100 floats, marching groups, dancers, decorated cars, professional and homemade costumes, scout troops, roller-skaters, unicyclists, and other assorted what-have-yous, with the ever-popular option for costumed onlookers to join in at the end of the parade. There’s no one best place to watch this display, as there are a host of businesses along the parade route where onlookers can eat, drink, and watch the thrills go by. Those who prefer to stay on the sidewalk are welcome to bring folding chairs. Those wishing to register to walk in the parade (not necessary, but encouraged) can call 502-292-3033 or visit www.baxterparade.com. Participation is free.

Once you've registered to vote, when you change your address, change your name, or want to change your party affiliation, you must update your voter registration with the Board of Elections.

The 56th St. James Court Art Show, October 5, 6, & 7
Fifty-six years ago, a handful of residents on St. James Court in Louisville hit on a creative way to earn money for badly-needed repairs to their grounds and their neglected fountain. They strung a clothesline between two trees and displayed their art. They hauled out hotdogs, pots of soup and chili, cakes, pies, tea and lemonade and sat back to see what would happen. It was 1957, and the residents of St. James Court made $150 to help repair their beloved fountain. A lot has changed in 56 years! In previous years the show has attracted over 200,000 people and has featured 720 artists. The show is a favorite with Louisvillians, visitors, and the artists themselves. In their annual audit of artists, Sunshine Artist recognized the St. James Art Show as the #1 art show in the country. Happening in early Fall in Old Louisville, the nation’s largest Victorian neighborhood, it provides a very rich cultural and artistic legacy for Louisville. St. James is a tasteful selection of high-quality original works, including sculpture, jewelry, photography, textiles, painting, and other fine arts and crafts catering to all artistic preferences and budgets. The neighborhood associations of St. James Court, Belgravia Court, South 3rd Street, 1300 South Third Street, Fourth Street and the West End Baptist Church use the proceeds from the art show to preserve Historic Old Louisville, provide scholarships, and support charitable organizations. The St. James Court Art Show serves the same purpose as it did 56 years ago: to preserve the historic district of Old Louisville and to promote the visual arts. Continuing the traditions of past years, patrons will again find food vendor booths and a wide variety of commemorative items for sale. Each year a poster competition is held .This year, Joe Weber has designed the 2012 St. James Court Art Show poster. You will be able to meet Joe as well as purchase his poster or posters from previous years. Once again the Inner Court will showcase artists new to the show and provide a demonstration tent with artists sharing the “work” of their artwork. On Pink Friday, pink will be featured throughout the show for remembrance, support and awareness of those with cancer and the need for research and treatment. University of Louisville Health Care-James Graham Brown Cancer Center is one of the show's sponsors and will be offering screenings at an onsite mobile unit. Selena’s Restaurant will offer an outdoor café serving breakfast and lunch just off of Magnolia between Third and Fourth Streets The St. James Court Art Show will be held October 5, 6, & 7, rain or shine. No pets please. Free and paid parking is available throughout the area. Valet parking is available for $20, with a drop-off and pick-up location on Magnolia Avenue between 6th and 7th Streets. Visitors may use "PARC and TARC" at the Brown Garage on 658 South Third Street. Taking a TARC shuttle service between 9:30 am and 30 minutes after the show closes will cost $6. A five-minute shuttle service is offered for guests parking at Jefferson Community College, Broadway and Second Street, for $10 from 9 am until an hour after the show closes. Cardinal Towne Parking and Shuttle Service (entrance on Cardinal Boulevard) will also provide transportations services: self park-$10; valet parking-$20; shuttle service with pick up at Cardinal Towne Parking entrance and drop off 4th and Hill for $5 per person or $20 per family Show hours are Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm and Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm.
