Attorney Sanders says Sept. 19th is National Parking Day and hopes City of Covington participates in the event.

On National Park(ing) Day, which is Friday, September 19, 2008, public parking spots nationwide will become public parks. The goals of the event, according to organizers, are to celebrate parks and promote the need for more parks in America's cities.

Sponsored by The Trust for Public Land, a national conservation group, National Park(ing) Day is an annual event celebrating city parks. Participants in more than 60 cities nationwide, including New York, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New Orleans, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington D.C. have announced that they will create temporary parks in public spaces.

No word yet if Covington, Lexington or Louisville will participate in this annual event. But keep your fingers crossed because "its happening in Covington."
