Weekend Roundup: Dancing with the Lexington Stars; Heart Walk; ‘Foodstock’
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT)—Local celebrities take their talents to the ballroom and a walk to save lives, plus a relaxing way you can celebrate mom this Mother’s Day weekend in this week’s Weekend Roundup.
DANCING WITH THE LEXINGTON STARS
This saturday marks the 13th year of Dancing with the Lexington Stars!
The event is the Rotary Club of Lexington’s biggest fundraising event.
It pairs local celebrities with professional dancers as they raise money and try to take home the mirror ball trophy.
This year, there will be seven celebrity competitors, including WKYT’s very own Mariah Congedo, who will be performing a salsa dance to “Despacito.”
The money raised from the event benefits the Baby Health Service, a free clinic that serves uninsured children in central Kentucky.
If you would like to make a donation, you can go to the Rotary Club’s website.
