Lexington came together in a big way this week to celebrate the men and women of its police department, as hundreds of community members turned out for an awards banquet honoring local officers, according to FOX 56 News.
The event offered residents a chance to recognize the dedication and service of Lexington’s law enforcement community, with a large crowd on hand to show their appreciation. Awards banquets like this one serve as an important reminder of the bond between a police department and the city it protects — and by all accounts, Lexington showed up in force.
Also adding to the community spirit this week, WKYT reports that tickets are now on sale for the 2026 St. Jude Dream Home in Lexington. The St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway is a beloved annual fundraiser that benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, giving local residents the chance to win a brand-new home while supporting life-saving research and treatment for children battling cancer and other serious illnesses. Tickets going on sale marks an exciting milestone for Lexington supporters of the cause, who turn out year after year to make the campaign a success.
Whether cheering on their local officers or buying a ticket for a worthy cause, Lexington residents are showing what community spirit looks like this summer.
