We've had to cancel our event for tomorrow night due to forecasted cloud cover and rain. We're working on ideas for other ways to help the Uptown businesses affected by the fire.

We're saddened to see the loss of Shoto, the Candy Factory, and surrounding businesses in Lexington today. The idea for the Lexington Astronomy Club was born on the sidewalk in front of Shoto and the Candy Factory. 4 years ago our founder started setting up his telescope on the sidewalk beside the bench out front and let people look at the Moon through it. Jimmy would always talk us up while bartending and Wynn would always come to ask us what we were looking at.

Our next event is this coming Friday night and all monetary donations will go to help the affected businesses.
