You’ve got less than two weeks to go. All the easy gifts have been bought.
The only people left on your list are The Ones.
You know, those folks who have everything. Who go out and buy what they want. Or who you just can’t seem to make happy.
It’s time to think outside the box.
These hard-to-please peeps may have everything, but they sure haven’t done everything.
And that’s where the awesomeness of Louisville comes in.
Put back the scalp massager and return the slippers. Don’t give your dear relative another Goodwill contribution, give them an experience. Louisville is full of local businesses that have plenty to offer.
For the Golden-Years Crowd:
Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons are coming to the Kentucky Center. You may not have heard of them, but your momma sure has. The 1960’s group sang rock-out singles like “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Working my Way Back to You.” Tickets start at $45 and are onsale now for the March 8 concert.
The Louisville Orchestra is back, and they have more offerings than you could imagine, including several performance series, including Classics & Coffee and the more modern and casual Pops.
