Fall. The air becomes colder, the nights become longer and the trees begin shedding their leaves in preparation for winter. This time of year does not only grace us with an abundance of great holidays, vibrant colors and a different wardrobe. It also introduces us to some different experiences that we have not been able to do for about a year. Here are six activities that you can try during this upcoming fall!

1. Boyd's Orchard

Located in Versailles, this is a great activity to bring the whole family to! Boyd's orchard has the obvious seasonal pumpkin picking to allow Halloween enthusiasts to demonstrate their pumpkin carving creativity. Whether you are doing this as a date night or out with friends, Boyd's orchard is fun for everyone.

2. Keeneland Fall Meet

Only two seasons out of the year are we lucky enough to have the Keeneland race track open. One of those seasons is spring and the other is, luckily, fall. Keeneland races run on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the month of October. Come in on these days and enjoy the fall horse races.

3. University of Kentucky Football Games

Although the season starts in August, we are graced with an abundance of football games throughout the fall months. Seven of the fall games being at home allows a lot of busy weekends getting out of the house and tailgating with friends.

4. Lexington Farmer's Market

Come get your favorite fall fruits and vegetables at the Lexington Farmer's Market! It is on Saturday's from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Cheapside Park. In addition to fresh produce, the farmer's market offers some made at home crafts that are a great addition to any household.

5. Thursday Night Live

Thursday Night Live is another event that runs throughout the summer but continues into the first bit of fall. Complete with food trucks and a live band, Thursday Night Live is the perfect place to spend an evening after a long week of school work and studying. It is also located in the heart of downtown.

6. Ashland, The Henry Clay Estate

The Henry Clay Estate is a beautiful house that can be seen off of Richmond Road. Not only do they offer tours of the Historic home, but they also have events that run through the fall months. It is not all historic though, Ashland also offers a beautiful scenery through the fall months - it is a great location to take pictures.

Fall - the best season to try new things. Now lace up your Duck Boots, go out, and try the different activities that are on this list!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
