Several Activities Today in Paducah for All Ages

If you're looking for something to do in Paducah today, here are several options that have been passed along to West Kentucky Star:


The Downtown Farmer's Market is open from 7:30 am - 1:00 pm, featuring a variety of local, homegrown products-- including fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, eggs, and dairy products, artisan and baked goods, and good eats from local food vendors. The market is located at North Second and Monroe Streets in historic downtown Paducah.


The Paducah Parks & Recreation presents the free Noble Park Fish Out Tournament for kids 5 to 12 years old at Lake Gerry Montgomery in Noble Park. Children may use their own pole and bring their own bait, or they may borrow a pole and bait from Paducah Parks & Recreation while supplies last. A fishing license is not needed since it is free fishing weekend on June 1-2 in Kentucky. Registration begins at 8:30 am at Shelter 10 (across the road from Noble Park Pool). Fishing is from 9 - 11 am, with an awards ceremony afterwards.
