Homeless Shelters Provided During World Equestrian Games
KENTUCKY....
Lexington's homeless are being offered two temporary shelters to sleep in while the city plays host to the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. Catholic Action Center director Ginny Ramsey says between 100 and 130 people routinely sleep on Lexington's streets, particularly Phoenix Park, during the warm weather. The group is opening the shelters from September 22nd through October 10th. The games at the Kentucky Horse Park begin September 25th and end October 10th. During the Games, food vendors will set up booths in Phoenix Park to serve visitors to the downtown Spotlight Lexington
festival, which will feature live entertainment. The main stage will be at the Courthouse Plaza, just across from the park.
