Snowstorm disrupts MLK Day events in Lexington and nearby areas

Snow is making it hard to celebrate a special day for a famous person who fought for equal rights. His name is Martin Luther King Jr.

Some people are checking the internet to see how different places are dealing with the snow.
In one place, Lexington, people will walk together to honor Martin Luther King Jr. at 1 p.m. The leaders of this place have not said anything about changing the time or the place. They have said on a website that workers are trying to make the roads safe.

The police of Lexington have helped many people who had problems with their cars because of the snow. They ask people to drive carefully and watch out for bridges. Bridges can be more slippery than other roads.

There is a plan to help people who do not have a home. They can go to a warm place and get a ride for free. If you see someone who needs help, you can call the police and tell them.
In another place, Cynthiana, people will not walk together because of the snow. They will still have a ceremony at a church at 11 a.m. The church is on a street called North Locust.
In a third place, Richmond, people will still walk together. They will wear warm clothes. They will start walking at 10 a.m. on Main Street. They will meet at a church called First Christian at 9 a.m.

In the fourth place, Georgetown, people will have a celebration at a college. They will meet new people at the student center at 3:30 p.m. They will walk together at 4 p.m. on East College Street.
