Remember when remote-controlled toys topped every kid's birthday wish list? Tim and Jenn Yelvington are bringing that joy back with "Can You Dig It," a groundbreaking mobile RC construction site that's capturing imaginations across Northern Kentucky.

The adventure began when Tim spotted a video of an RC café in Dubai. Inspired and driven by his lifelong passion for remote-controlled vehicles, he and Jenn transformed an 8x20 foot trailer into an interactive construction zone filled with sand, realistic obstacles, and professional-grade equipment. Their 1:14 scale metal excavators, front loaders, and four-by-four crawlers aren't typical toys—they're substantial machines that mirror the controls of actual construction equipment.

What makes this concept truly special is how it bridges digital and physical play. In our conversation, Tim shared, "We were able to keep children's attention who had tablets sitting a few minutes away." Parents across Northern Kentucky are celebrating this screen-free alternative that engages kids in tactile, skill-building activities while inspiring genuine laughter and excitement. The pit even contains buried treasures like gems and pirate doubloons, adding another layer of discovery to the experience.

Though "Can U Dig It" primarily attracts children, its appeal extends to all ages. At their Gallatin County Fair debut, college students enthusiastically joined the fun, and even a professional excavator operator was delighted to discover the controls matched his work equipment. This universal appeal has opened conversations about partnerships with local businesses for corporate events and family days.

Looking ahead, the Yelvingtons envision evolving their mobile concept into a permanent café—a community space where parents can enjoy coffee while their children play. Until then, you can experience "Can U Dig It" at the upcoming Boone County Fair (June 23-27) and Alexandria Fair (August 27-September 1), or book them for your next birthday party, neighborhood gathering, or special event through www.canudigitrc.com.

What happens when a haircut becomes more than just grooming? Trina Brackens, the dynamic owner of VIP Specialty Haircuts at Florence Mall, has transformed the mundane task of getting a trim into a therapeutic experience that nourishes both body and spirit.

From the moment you settle into her chair, you're treated to what Trina calls "the experience" – a multi-sensory journey beginning with a charcoal-infused peppermint hot towel facial wrap, followed by aromatherapy, pressure point massages targeting the temporal, zygomatic, and mandibular regions, and hot stones on your neck and shoulders. All this happens before scissors even touch your hair. It's no wonder doctors, executives, and even celebrities seek out her services not just for grooming, but for genuine stress relief.

Trina's path to becoming a master of her craft began at just nine years old when she rescued her brother from a botched home haircut that left him with an accidental "reverse mohawk." When her father witnessed her natural talent, he handed over his clippers and proclaimed, "you do the haircuts from now on." Three decades later, Trina has built a business that offers more than haircuts – she provides sanctuary. The VIP in her salon name stands for "Victorious, Inspired People," reflecting her mission to leave clients feeling renewed inside and out.

Beyond her business, Trina's heart for service extends to at-risk youth through her nonprofit, Victorious Ministries. Started during the pandemic, the program offers individualized mentoring, challenges, and support for young people struggling with depression and difficult circumstances. "I'm here on assignment," she says simply, seeing her work as both vocation and mission.

Whether you're looking for a premium grooming experience or simply need a place to decompress, Trina and her team are ready to serve you with excellence and heart.
