Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Saturday, March 28th.

We're waking up to some chilly conditions across the Bluegrass this morning. Freeze warnings have been in effect through the early morning hours with temperatures dipping down to the mid-twenties, so if you've got any tender plants or outdoor preparations, you'll want to get those sorted quickly as things warm up throughout the day.

Speaking of today's activities, we've got quite a bit happening around town. Over at Rupp Arena on West Vine Street, the 2026 Lexington Comic and Toy Convention is getting underway at noon. If you're into comics, collectibles, or just looking for some entertainment, that's kicking off this afternoon and should be a fun way to spend your Saturday.

But there's also something pretty significant happening downtown. Peaceful Bluegrass Resistance and about twenty local organizations are hosting the third No Kings rally today from one to four o'clock at the courthouse plaza. Organizers are expecting this could be the largest turnout yet. Last October, they drew around eight thousand people, and with everything happening nationally right now, they're hopeful this rally will break that attendance record. Craig Blair, one of the organizers, tells us they've actually run out of physical space for all the groups wanting to set up tables. The rally is part of more than three thousand events happening across the country today, with about forty scheduled throughout Kentucky.

In some exciting business news, Mirror Twin Brewing is opening a second taproom on Harrodsburg Road today. Co-owner Derek DeFranco announced the expansion recently, and for folks who've been enjoying their original location, this gives you another spot to check out their offerings.

On the job front, the Lexington employment market continues to show strength. We're looking at over fourteen thousand job openings across the area right now, with positions ranging from warehouse and retail work to specialized roles. The average hourly pay is sitting around twenty-three dollars according to recent data. If you're looking to make a move in your career, it's a pretty active market out there with opportunities across multiple industries.

As we move through the rest of your day, keep an eye on that temperature. Conditions should be dry, but it's definitely one of those mornings where you'll want a jacket as you head out. The forecast is looking fairly typical for late March, so nothing too extreme heading into the evening.
