Mayor Gray has officially declared March 1st as Jorts Day in Lexington. It is satisfying to see the city honor Josh Harrellson in this capacity. Thank you for your contributions toward this goal.

The University of Kentucky campus has already taken steps to make March 1st a special day including encouraging everyone to wear denim on the 1st and local stores have even set up a count down sign outside of their shop that says "## until Jorts Day." Now we are asking Mayor Gray to make the day official.
Harrellson is beloved throughout the city and across the commonwealth for his on-the-court play and his off-the-court character. The nickname was given by Kentucky Sports Radio when Harrellson made his recruiting visit to UK and wore a pair of jean shorts. From that moment on he was forever known as Jorts!

The enthusiasm for this initiative continues to build across the community as more residents display their support for a formal recognition of this date. I am currently coordinating with local offices to ensure our request reaches the appropriate departments for review.
