LEX INGTON KENTUCKY
7 CITY GUIDE
WE ARE KENTUCKY. We are a
Wildly Powerful community.
And, here, you will find what inspires you when you see the impact you can have on the world.
An Equal Opportunity University
s ˙ r o t i Ed r e t t e L
This guide is a celebration of the people behind exceptional local businesses in Lexington—the entrepreneurs, makers, and artists who have followed their passions and share a commitment to our community. The pages that follow serve as an introduction to these unique individuals who call these communities home, and an invitation to learn more about them. It is my hope that this book will inspire discovery. Browse it, display it, share it with family and friends, but most importantly, use it. Whether you’re a visitor, newcomer, or longtime local, I hope that this guide helps you engage with the people in Lexington on a deeper level, and in so doing, helps you enhance your life and enjoy our community to the fullest. Finally, I’d like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of the businesses that appear here for being part of the collective that supports this guide. It is an honor to help tell their stories, and I can’t wait to share more about them online throughout the coming year. Thank you for using this guide, and when you connect with these businesses, please tell them The Scout Guide sent you! Warm regards,
