Mayor Jim Gray: Friday declared Blue-White Day in Lexington

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – An announcement from Lexington Mayor Jim Gray on Thursday is hardly likely to draw much in the way of controversy.

The Mayor has declared Friday, March 24th as Blue-White day in the city.

The Mayor is urging all UK basketball fans to wear their blue-and-white to support the Wildcats as they fight to get into the Elite 8 in the NCAA tournament.

The Mayor closed out his official statement with the words, “Come on, everyone, it’s time to dance!”

Kentucky’s next game is a late tip-off (9:40 p.m.) against the UCLA Bruins at the Fed Ex Forum in Memphis, Tennessee.
