You are listening to Look Who's Talking. I am
0:19
Cameron Minter. I am your co -host and our fabulous
0:23
Head Start Director Jessica Coffie is our host.
0:27
She's in the building. What's going on, Jessica?
0:30
Am I the host or you? You are the host. Don't
0:33
get it twisted. You are the host. I'm doing good,
0:36
Kim. How are you doing today? I am well. I am
0:39
well. I am finally. It took me a minute. It's
0:43
February, so it took me a minute to get back
0:45
into a groove from work. From holidays and sickness?
0:50
From holidays, sickness, and weather. Yeah. All
0:55
of that took a toll on me to get back to. I'm
0:59
not sure if I'm in the groove. I'm fine. Like
1:02
if we got, you know, a day off, so it's still
1:07
going to mess with me. But, you know, I'm not
1:09
complaining. Please don't think I'm complaining.
1:12
But anyway, here's a question I have for you.
1:14
What is it? When you were younger, I'm going
1:19
to give you options so that you don't disappoint
1:21
me. That was so long ago. When you were younger,
1:23
what scared you? Movie -wise or in real life?
1:30
I got a good one. What was it? Thriller. Thriller?
1:35
Yes. Thriller. Thriller? The music video? Yes.
1:42
It absolutely scared me. And this is probably
1:46
why it scared me. Because I remember... So, you
1:50
know, I remember myself when I was three years
1:52
old. Oh, okay. Like I remember stuff. Right.
1:55
Quote unquote three. Okay. And my dad, I'd heard
2:00
the music playing and me and my sister were in
2:05
our rooms and he came to the window and was like,
2:10
boo. And I was like, and. I associate that with
2:17
that, and I've never liked Thriller. Wow. Never.
2:21
Like, I'm so scary that I didn't even watch Scooby
2:26
-Doo. Wait a minute. So it goes beyond a music
2:29
video? Absolutely. You're scary? I don't like
2:33
scary movies. Oh. When I tell you I did not watch
2:37
Scooby -Doo, I'm not like. So you're easily scared.
2:41
Oh, yes. Middle note. Okay. I am scared of my
2:45
shadow. Wow. That's crazy. For me, it was Candyman.
2:53
And I remember, I remember as plain as day, going
2:57
into the bathroom, cutting off the lights, and
3:00
looking in the mirror and saying, Candyman, three
3:03
times. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, we did that. And yeah,
3:08
yeah. Listen, I'm so scary. When I go in my house
3:12
and the lights are off, I'll close my eyes. Because
3:15
what if something pops out? Oh, my God. I would
3:18
rather see the darkness of my eyes being closed
3:22
than something possibly reaching out and saying
3:28
boo. I am not like. I didn't know you were scary.
3:31
Yes. There could be a robber in my house. Listen,
3:35
you're going to take my life because I'm not
3:37
about to fight you. Wow. I am on the floor. They
3:43
will look at me and be like, hmm, never mind.
3:46
Right, right, never mind. It ain't even fun anymore.
3:50
Because I'm not only scary, I'm dramatic. Oh,
3:54
I know that. And at least I know it. Well, I
3:57
know that as well. At least I know it. Well,
4:00
okay. That's your scary thing? Huh? I said, that's
4:03
your scary thing? I thought you was going to
4:05
say something, like, different. Oh, no. I mean,
4:09
I'm not. Literally, you said you remember when
4:13
you were three. I remember when I was young,
4:15
I used to be ticklish. And that was my weakness,
4:18
quote, unquote, weakness. So I tickled myself
4:22
until I wasn't ticklish anymore. What? I had
4:26
a fear of being. But when you tickle yourself,
4:30
it's not funny. Hey. Whatever the case, I am
4:34
no longer ticklish. Really? Put that in your
4:37
pipe this morning. I'm very ticklish. Have mercy.
4:41
I'm scary and ticklish. I don't know. That's
4:44
not a good combination. It's not. I don't know
4:47
what's wrong with me. Do you get your feet done?
4:50
Oh, yeah. But you're not ticklish with that?
4:52
Oh, absolutely. Are you clowning in there? Absolutely.
4:56
Oh. I'd be like. Like. Every time. You know,
5:03
to where it got to the point to where I was like,
5:06
yeah, you don't have to do that. Right. My feet
5:09
ain't crusty. Wow. You don't have to scrub like
5:12
that. Wow. Oh, yeah. So you go to the same place
5:17
because they got to be used to you by now, right?
5:19
Yeah, I've been going to the same place for a
5:22
while. Yeah, please only go someplace that they
5:24
know that. Don't put that on nobody new. Oh,
5:27
no. You know what? You need to learn different
5:32
customers. No. That's part of building your skill
5:37
set. I'm done with you. What, Cam? All right.
5:40
It's time for a Coffie Break. All right. So for
5:52
today's Coffie Break, I want to say you aren't
5:55
lost. You're just uncomfortable at an uncomfortable
5:58
stage of your life where your old self has gone
6:02
and your new self isn't fully born. You're in
6:06
the midst of transformation. I know that was
6:09
a lot, but I need you to say it again because
6:11
it was a lot. I'm not saying that again. You're
6:12
not going to say it again? No. But what I will
6:15
say is we grow, we evolve. And if you continue
6:21
to try to be. that person that you were, your
6:25
old self, then it's going to be hard to get adjusted
6:28
to that. Let me tell you about this. Let me give
6:32
you a real life example. Okay, go right ahead.
6:34
So when I became, started evolving in my 40s,
6:39
I was still, I thought my body was still in my
6:45
30s. This again, this again. And it wasn't. Right.
6:49
And I had to get used to Oh, I need more rest.
6:53
Oh, I need to take vitamins. Oh, I can't work
6:57
out as much as I used to. And that took adjustment
7:02
for me. Yeah, I agree. I mean, but you feel lost
7:07
because your mind holds on to who you were and
7:11
has not fully accepted who you're becoming, right?
7:14
So in my mind, I can still lift a lot of weights
7:18
like I did in high school. But blessed be, if
7:22
I get in the gym, I'm going to be embarrassed
7:24
because I probably can't even push up the bar.
7:27
However, there is a stage of grief when you're
7:33
not that person anymore because that person isn't
7:36
the same. It's like, you know, you're grieving
7:39
who you were, but embrace that new you. I like
7:43
it. I like it. That's good. Although you wouldn't
7:46
repeat it, so I hope y 'all heard it the one
7:49
time she gave it to us because she will not repeat
7:51
it. Well, I gave it a name. Okay. Yeah, yeah.
7:55
What's going on today? Okay. So on today's show,
7:59
we have Miss Callie Northern. I was waiting for
8:06
that. Well, I was waiting for you to finish the
8:08
introduction. Well, I knew you were going to
8:10
do that. Okay. Anywho. So Callie is the Education
8:13
Director at the Lexington Living Arts and Science
8:17
Center. Welcome, Callie. Hello. Thanks for having
8:20
me. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. We have a lot
8:23
of good fun over here. I hope you can tell. I'm
8:27
already having fun. I'm excited. Yay. So what
8:29
we want to get into is what... Tell us about
8:34
or how the history of the Lexington Living Arts
8:38
and Science Center. Yeah, so we have been around
8:42
since 1968. So the Lexington Junior League actually
8:45
helped establish our facility. So we are in a
8:49
historical home. It's called the Kincaid House,
8:51
and it was President Abraham Lincoln's lawyer's
8:54
house originally. And it stayed in that. That
8:57
building was built in 1846. And so it stayed
9:01
in that family until the Junior League helped.
9:05
establish our facility. And we purchased it in,
9:08
I believe, 1967. And then we opened in 1968.
9:11
Sometimes I get those dates a little bit mixed
9:14
up, but it's close. Right. And so then we have
9:17
operated as a nonprofit organization, bringing
9:20
art and science to all of our community. And
9:23
then in 2016, we built a new building onto our
9:27
historical building. So now we are triple the
9:29
size of what we once were. So we're super excited
9:32
about that as well. Oh, that sounds great. That's
9:35
awesome. So the Lexington Living Arts. Yes. And
9:41
science. I'm sorry. Don't let me skip anything.
9:44
It's tough because we have LexArts as well. Yeah.
9:48
And then we have the Lexington Children's Museum.
9:52
And so all of those get a little bit wild. The
9:56
words mixed up. So your focus is more what? So
10:00
we focus mainly on art and science education.
10:03
And so our biggest thing is we want to bring
10:06
that type of education to everyone. So we always
10:10
say ages zero to, you know, 99, 100, whatever
10:13
that looks like. So we go into a lot of schools
10:17
and we do after school programming. We have field
10:20
trips that come on site. We have a planetarium
10:22
on site. And then we also have a mobile planetarium
10:26
that goes out into different schools, libraries.
10:29
anything like that. And then biggest thing that
10:32
we're probably most well known for, I would say,
10:34
is summer camp. So we have 48 summer camps coming
10:38
this summer. So that's typically our regular,
10:41
which is kind of like, ah! But it's super fun.
10:44
And then we have that for ages preschool all
10:46
the way through middle school as well. We have
10:49
adult classes. So anything art and science education,
10:53
because a lot of times, you know, people want
10:55
to box science as its own and they want to box
10:58
art. Art is its own. And so we really want to
11:01
break those walls down and, you know, educate
11:03
people that art and science are so, you know,
11:07
together. And so you can't really have one without
11:10
the other. Yeah. My granddaughter is an artist,
11:14
but I find it more difficult. to find places
11:18
for her to express that art uh it used to be
11:22
in school it used to be you know something that
11:24
was a part of the everyday curriculum but uh
11:27
yeah just reaching out and trying to find um
11:30
different avenues for her to develop her gift
11:33
i mean she's gifted now but with a little you
11:37
know a little push a little you know training
11:39
uh she would be phenomenal so That's great that
11:44
you all are providing that. Now, is this a free
11:47
service? How do we get involved? Yeah, so that's
11:52
a... Question that has a lot of answers. So our
11:59
summer camps and our what we call no school day
12:01
classes and camps. So anytime that Fayette County
12:03
is not in school, we do some type of camp. So,
12:06
you know, spring break, fall break, any of that
12:07
kind of stuff. So those we do have a registration
12:11
fee. However, we are really big on providing
12:15
scholarships to kiddos who otherwise would not
12:18
be able to afford it because we believe that
12:19
education money should not be a barrier for anybody
12:22
to be able to, you know, continue their gift
12:25
or to learn new things or whatever that is. So
12:28
we offer a lot of scholarship spots. So just
12:31
for an example, summer camps last year, we had
12:34
about we saw about 425 kids and about 90 of those
12:38
kids were on scholarship. So about a quarter
12:40
of the kiddos come. So then a lot of other programs,
12:44
we do a program called Seedlings and Steam, which
12:46
is for preschool kiddos ages 3 to 5, or actually
12:50
2 to 5. That's a free program that we offer because
12:53
we want to go ahead and get those kids in the
12:55
door and starting to learn about art and science
12:57
as early as they can. Our field trips do cost
13:02
a fee, but we also will work with schools. So
13:05
any school that's a Title I, we offer a discount
13:08
to you. And then all of our after -school programming.
13:11
is free so and we go into title one school specifically
13:14
right now because those are the ones that otherwise
13:17
would not get it and we want to make sure that
13:18
they get it first since it is a free program
13:21
that we provide That's a lot. You all do a lot,
13:26
right? We do a lot. It is crazy busy all of the
13:29
time. We also have, so we do have just a facility,
13:33
an educational facility is what we call it, that
13:35
people can come into and just, you know, check
13:38
it out. We have a lot of exhibit spaces. We have
13:40
little animals running around. We have axolotls.
13:43
We have turtles. We have a bearded dragon, all
13:45
the things. Our planetarium, which we have a
13:47
planetarium show on loop all the time. So we
13:50
have people, just daily visitors that come in,
13:52
and we charge an admission fee, but we also offer
13:56
a very, very, very cheap membership to anybody
13:59
who is on a SNAP benefit, anything like that.
14:01
And also, so we're located on 4th and Martin
14:04
Luther King Avenue, so anybody that has that
14:06
40508 zip code, they're welcome to come for free.
14:09
Wow. So we try to do as much as we can to make
14:12
everything that we offer accessible to everybody
14:14
here regardless. Our administrative building
14:18
is 40508. Right. There you go. So what are some
14:23
of the art classes? I mean, what should you expect
14:29
if, say, you love art? Yeah. So you can expect
14:34
almost anything from us. Like it gets a little
14:36
bit, we will go crazy. So there's two different
14:39
ways that I kind of run. our summer camps one
14:42
is i really like our teachers because we have
14:44
a lot of contracted teachers that come in and
14:46
only teach with us in the summer so i want them
14:48
to teach what they're comfortable with so we
14:50
have ceramics artists that come in we're going
14:52
to do ceramics we have Someone who is a chef.
14:55
And so obviously they're going to teach cooking
14:57
classes. We do. We have a kitchen as well. Because
15:01
when people think arts and science, they're not
15:04
thinking food. They're not thinking food. No.
15:06
And so, you know, one thing that and so a good
15:08
example of that is we do a class called Food
15:11
or Fake. And so that is. Where the kiddos spend
15:16
half of their day in the ceramic studio and they
15:18
learn how to make a bowl. And then the other
15:21
half of the day is spent in the kitchen. And
15:23
then they learn how to make like a salad or a
15:25
bread. And then they can put that in the bowl.
15:27
Oh, nice. That's fantastic. Hey, look, we've
15:30
got some more talking to do because you've got
15:32
to educate us on what you all do. We're going
15:36
to talk more with Callie right after the break.
15:38
You are listening to Look Who's Talking. This

17:22
are listening to Look Who's Talking. And we're
17:25
here with Callie from Lexington Living Arts and
17:28
Science Center. So we were just talking about
17:31
some of the just activities that you have for
17:35
children. And I kind of want to go back to the
17:38
mobile field trip. So can you tell us a little
17:41
bit about that? Yeah. So through some of our
17:44
research, you know, busing is a really big issue
17:48
in Fayette County. There's just not enough of
17:50
them. It's expensive to travel. You also have
17:54
a time constraint, too, because, you know, they
17:55
have to be back by a certain time so they can
17:57
then. get the kids home so we're really trying
18:01
to always be accessible to anybody and you know
18:04
anywhere so we've created this mobile field trip
18:07
essentially and so we have a specific curriculum
18:10
that we can take into the schools and so it is
18:13
a efficient an on -site field trip so our mobile
18:17
we have a mobile planetarium as well now you
18:19
can do a mobile field trip with the planetarium
18:21
a lot of times people will just rent the mobile
18:24
planetarium because that's something that a lot
18:26
of people just don't see very often. And so it
18:28
essentially looks like a bouncy house from the
18:30
outside. So we have to kind of tell the kids,
18:33
you know, don't jump on top of it or you're going
18:36
to collapse it. But so we blow it up and then
18:41
we put our projector or we have all of our equipment
18:44
that just goes right inside. It's an interesting
18:46
process to set up because it's pitch black inside
18:49
because it has to be in order to make it, you
18:51
know, show correctly. So you have to take your
18:53
little headlamp inside and set up. all the things
18:55
and set the mirror in the right spot but you
18:58
can fit about comfortably 15 to 20 people in
19:01
there and they go inside and lay down and Watch
19:04
a planetarium show. Oh, wow. So what ages is
19:07
that for? It can be for any age. So most of our
19:10
shows right now are targeted towards preschool
19:13
age through like eighth grade. But we have so
19:16
many of the adults that love to come and even
19:19
high schoolers that love to come and see shows
19:20
too. You know why I'm asking that, right? We
19:23
already know. We used to do a planetarium like
19:27
that before. But, yeah, that's awesome. That
19:31
is really awesome. Oh, I'm going to keep your
19:34
books busy because our kiddos need to see that.
19:38
Yeah, yeah. You know, we actually have a lot
19:41
of preschools that rent it. They just love it
19:45
in there. I mean, it's super fun. And it's amazing
19:48
to see how well kids will just lay down and watch
19:52
a show, you know. I mean, they're typically usually
19:55
about 20 or 25 minutes, so it's not a long commitment.
19:58
Yeah. But they are always so just. impressed
20:01
and excited about you know just the first initial
20:03
it comes on and the stars pop up and they're
20:06
you know wow you know yeah that's nice i love
20:10
that so we were talking about some of the show
20:13
uh just getting a better understanding of what
20:17
to expect so during the school year what are
20:19
you all offering and Then we got to get back
20:22
to that summer camp because I'm getting ready
20:24
to sign up right now. Yeah. Please. We actually
20:27
do have adult summer camps. We can talk about
20:29
that later. Wow. Stop it. What? So during the
20:34
school year, we are pretty really, really busy
20:38
with field trips coming on site. And so, you
20:42
know, you're looking at. 75 to 100 kids in the
20:44
building at one time and they're you know running
20:46
around seeing our animals looking at our planetarium
20:48
but we also have a lot of just foot traffic through
20:52
of you know little kids that are not in school
20:54
yet or you know what have you and they're in
20:57
just looking at our animals visiting our exhibit
20:59
spaces and then our after school and so you Currently,
21:05
right now, that's pretty much our capacity at
21:08
the moment. We'd love to be, you know, ultimately
21:10
our goal is to be in all Fayette County schools.
21:12
So we offer an hour -long program after school
21:15
that kiddos can, and it's completely free for
21:18
the school. The only thing we require is a teacher
21:20
to be there. And so we go into the schools and
21:23
we teach a curriculum. Right now we're teaching
21:26
them all about the brain because that's what
21:27
our current exhibit space is at our facility
21:31
is all about the brain. do traveling field trips
21:36
and mobile field trips so that keeps us extremely
21:38
busy throughout the you know the fall and the
21:41
spring yeah and the summer camps and the summer
21:45
camps yes so uh we were talking about like you
21:50
know what type of things you all do at our summer
21:53
camp so give us a little more understanding yeah
21:57
so um our ages are so we have a half -day class
22:02
for preschool age, so three to five years old.
22:04
Those classes are typically what we call a theme
22:07
class because they're little. They need to wiggle
22:11
and do all of the things. So we typically start
22:13
out, we have a, our classroom is set up much
22:17
like a child development center preschool would
22:18
be. It has all of those different, you know,
22:20
sections that you would expect to see. So they
22:23
spend a lot of. the beginning of their time doing
22:26
some open play. We always do a science experiment
22:28
of some kind. We'll do a craft of some kind.
22:30
They usually take a little scavenger hunt adventure
22:33
to see our animals because they love the animals.
22:36
Snack break, of course, very important. And then
22:39
they usually get to see one or two planetarium
22:41
shows a week. And then we repeat that process
22:46
for five days. So it's a week -long camp. So
22:49
that's our little guys. Our kindergarten. through
22:52
second grade classes all day. So it's from nine
22:54
to four. And so. Depending upon, sometimes we
22:59
still do themed classes because they're still
23:00
little, and it's nice to have just a large variety
23:03
of crafts to do and of science experiments to
23:05
do. But some of them, we're doing a couple clay
23:07
classes with them, so we're really going to let
23:09
them dig into that artistic side as well and
23:13
figuring out what they like and what they don't
23:15
like and using their hands. We try to keep as
23:18
much technology away from our classroom as we
23:21
can because kids get so much of that these days.
23:24
We want them to be. working with their hands
23:26
and you know doing all the things they get an
23:28
hour lunch break where they get to go outside
23:30
we have a really nice outdoor area that they
23:32
can play um third through fifth grade we start
23:35
digging in a little bit more to specific artistic
23:38
um you know specialties so we'll do some clay
23:42
classes some cooking classes yeah um and then
23:44
we'll do some drawing classes and so a lot of
23:47
our attendance that we see is parents that you
23:51
know they want their kiddo or their kiddo is
23:54
showing interest in something very specific,
23:56
and so they will sign them up only for maybe
23:58
one of our classes, but they know that they're
24:01
going to get something out of that. Did you say
24:03
cooking? Yes. Can you make a connection with
24:08
cooking and arts and science? The kids love to
24:15
cook. And just a quick thought on that is we
24:19
do making your own pasta. And there's a couple
24:22
reasons we do that is one is we like to show
24:24
kids that, you know, just because you don't.
24:27
think you have anything to eat in your house
24:29
or like there's no little Debbie cakes or whatever
24:31
it is, you know, you can take flour and water
24:34
and an egg is even optional. An egg's great.
24:36
If you don't have it, that's okay. And you can
24:38
literally make yourself spaghetti, you know?
24:40
So just trying to, you know, teach kiddos that
24:43
to where they can depend on their self if they
24:45
need to cook their own food or whatever that,
24:47
whatever that looks like. I love that because,
24:49
you know, most kids are like, where do you get
24:51
food? The grocery store. Right. No, you can actually
24:55
make your. So I absolutely love that. Okay, I
25:00
interrupted you. You was at three to five. No,
25:03
no, that's great. Sixth to eighth grade is a
25:06
lot like third to fifth in that we are very specialized
25:09
in what those specific things are or what those
25:12
specific classes are. So we'll do ceramics classes
25:16
again. Some of them are cooking. We're doing
25:18
a Harry Potter class this summer, which we're
25:21
really excited about. So those kiddos that are
25:22
wild about Harry Potter, they're welcome to come.
25:25
You know, we're pulling in that, again, art and
25:27
science into that. And I'm trying to think what
25:30
other, off the top of my head, what other classes
25:32
we're doing. We're doing a fiber arts class.
25:34
So they're going to be learning how to crochet
25:36
and knit. Oh, that's nice. Which is super fun.
25:40
So, yeah, so we're really excited. And, you know,
25:42
6th or 8th grade, middle school is a hard age
25:44
to get. Oh, yeah. Because they're too cool. Middle
25:46
school is just a hard age, period. In general.
25:50
That's a transition you was talking about. Yeah.
25:52
I have a 6th grader, and it's been an interesting
25:55
time. interesting um and an interesting year
25:57
so we're making it so what would you say to a
26:00
parent who says you know what i love all of this
26:04
for my my kiddos but do you have anything for
26:07
me yeah so we do um so we have adult summer camps
26:13
which we are really excited about we tried this
26:18
out last year and we called it camp gold and
26:21
it was for ages 50 plus oh wow and it was really
26:25
successful and we had you know five or six ladies
26:29
in there just they were having way more fun than
26:32
the kids you know it was like you guys gotta
26:33
simmer down so this year we're pivoting a little
26:39
bit so we're not gonna um it's 18 and up so we're
26:43
not gonna do um just for the the older folks
26:46
we're gonna do for anybody that wants to come
26:48
so we're doing um they're all ceramics classes
26:50
um because that seems to be a need that people
26:54
want or they're interested in. And so in the
26:57
morning, they're half -day classes. And so kind
27:00
of the thought is if you can bring your preschooler,
27:02
then maybe you can take a class as well and you're
27:03
both there. And we actually encourage them to
27:06
go outside and have a snack like the kids do.
27:10
Get out of here. But throughout the year, we
27:14
also have adult classes as well. So we have a
27:16
10 -week series going on right now called just
27:19
Adult Art Club. And so we have two. two different
27:22
segments. So one is a ceramics, and so they're
27:25
doing some type of different ceramics class each
27:26
week, and one is cooking. So sourdough, which
27:30
is really popular right now. I'm trying to think
27:33
what some of the others are. Canning, those kind
27:35
of things. Those are really practical skills,
27:38
again, that you can take home and use because
27:40
we all know groceries are expensive. Yes, yes.
27:45
They are. So that is awesome. That is a lot of
27:49
information. Okay, okay. I got to look it up
27:52
because, you know, me and Grandbaby are going
27:54
to be coming in. So what's some contact information?
27:58
How can we get to know you and know where you
28:01
are? Yeah. So definitely our website, which is
28:05
L -A -S -C -L -E -X dot org. But if you Google
28:08
Living Arts and Science Center, we're going to
28:09
pop up. And then we have a Facebook page and
28:13
an Instagram page that we're pretty active on.
28:16
We did just talk our executive director into
28:19
letting us have TikTok, which we're really excited
28:21
about. For the moment. TBD on that. But we also
28:28
have a. newsletter that goes out as well to our
28:32
members and then also to our non -members anybody
28:34
that's signed up for camp so those are then going
28:36
to be the big ways but we also we are always
28:39
out in the community we try as much as possible
28:41
to be at STEM nights for schools art nights for
28:45
schools and then also you know just community
28:48
events around we just did a Pink Floyd event
28:51
a couple of weeks ago so we were there in the
28:55
kids section doing crafts we're going to be I
29:00
know we're doing the Frankfurt Historical Day
29:02
of History. I don't think that's the exact name
29:05
of it. So we try to get to as many community
29:07
events as we can. How far in advance would someone
29:10
need to contact you if they wanted you at their
29:13
center or community event? Typically a month
29:16
or two in advance is really good so that we can
29:19
make sure that we can put it in there. She's
29:22
going to hold you to that. I am. Oh, Kelly, it's
29:26
great to talk to you. It's great to learn more
29:28
information about the Lexington Living Arts and
29:33
Science Center. Thank you for being our guest.
29:37
Thank you. All right, guys, you have been listening
29:41
to Look Who's Talking.
