Music, Food, Beer, and Justice: Louisville Loves Mountains returns on Friday, May 18

 

At last year's Louisville Loves Mountains event, Wendell Berry gave a stirring talk.

Louisville Loves Mountains returns on Friday evening, May 18. A block-long stretch of Longest Avenue will be cordoned off from where it meets Bardstown Road, in front of Carmichael's Bookstore and Heine Brothers' Coffee. Craft beer will be provided by Against the Grain, BBC and NABC. Here's the rest of the story from the Louisville Loves Mountains event page at Facebook.
