Hands On St. Nick - A Makeover
St. Nicholas Family Clinic
1901 Kentucky Ave.
8:00 am - 6:00 pm
Come help us give this 20 year old organization a NEW LOOK! Help us paint, clean, organize and create a welcoming environment for our patients and the community.

Specific needs include: taping & mudding supplies, paint & artwork groupings, rugs, blinds & plants/interior foliage, soft fluorescents, baby changing station (x2), office organizers, L-shape desk, chairs, coffee tables, flooring – wood laminate & vinyl or tile, and volunteers.

Having served almost 7,000 patients since opening in 1994, St. Nicholas Family Free Clinic has made a significant impact on the health of our community and region. We are looking forward to giving back to the clinic by recruiting local businesses and volunteers to help lay new floors, freshen the walls with new paint, and organize the space for people to be proud of. Featuring JLF Interior Designs.

My Weekend in Pictures

Wow, what a weekend in Paducah, am I right? It really started last Wednesday with Porkstock and hasn’t officially ended yet since I still have 10 tons of pork shoulder in my freezer… I’m still in a pork and fried things on sticks coma, so I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves (with a few snarky comments here and there, of course!)

Wednesday, September 21 — Porkstock

Thursday, September 22 — Dinner and Rain

One of my very best friends was visiting me from Colorado – her fourth visit to Paducah, but first to BBQ on the River. She’s originally from the south and apparently you can’t get BBQ in Boulder, so she was thrilled to experience the porkfest! We made it our goal to consume as many things on sticks and fried things as possible over the course of the three day event, so we started right in. After warming up with brisket and ribs, I moved immediately to fried pickles and Denise went straight to the stick! Since Mary reported on the Kentucky State Fair in Louisville, I’ve been hearing about Deep Fried KoolAid, so of course I had to give it a try too…

I had no concept of how they might fry KoolAide, but it turned out to be basically a doughnut hole flavored with cherry KoolAide. Not too bad, actually!

Friday, September 23 — The Porkfest Continues

You guessed it – more pork and fried stuff – this time in the form of BBQ nachos and fried okra, corn, green tomatoes and green beans!

This required a rest by the river before continuing…

... with a walk up Broadway to the Art á la Cart Gallery, BeBe’s Artisan Market and Twisted Willow. Oh, and there was a funnel cake in there somewhere too…

Saturday, September 24 — Here Comes the Judge!

One of the great perks of running this little website (other than forcing you all to look at my photos) is getting to do fun things like judging BBQ! This is the second time I’ve had the opportunity to judge shoulder and look at the esteemed panel of judges I sat with (and probably offended): City Manager Jeff Peterson, Chief of Police James Berry and Santa Claus! It gave me a false sense of my own importance, but didn’t improve my behavior AT ALL. Just ask them. After consuming about a gazillion different preparations of pork shoulder, I actually chose two containers to bring home with me, so I’m STILL eating pork!

There were plenty of other things going on besides eating… but I was on such a pork high that I barely noticed or remembered to document them! Here are a few other interesting things I saw along the way: A catfish bigger than me and a clown making balloon animals. Not sure which frightened me more…
