Here comes the ordinance...again. Lexington's Committee of the Whole -- Economic Development Committee will take up the ordinance drafted by the Itinerant Merchant Task Force on 2 OCT 12.

Inspirational words from our director about the next step for the Bluegrass Food Truck Association: First, I want to extend my deepest appreciation to every single person that has and continues to support the Bluegrass Food Truck Association. It is only through our combined passion, innovation and hard work that the food truck scene has exploded to where it is today in Lexington. I recognize that this could not have happened without all the people that have helped us get where we now find ourselves.
