‘Valentines For Democracy’

Area residents gather in front of the old courthouse and Courthouse Square in Lexington Friday afternoon for a “Valentines for Democracy” rally. Rather than a protest of political happenings, the rally creates a positive space to affirm political values important to participants, say organizers. Rallies will be held at the same location every Friday at 4 p.m. for the next 10 weeks. For more on the story, see page A4. (Scotty Dransfield photo)
