Friday after 5 kicks off in Owensboro
OWENSBORO, Ky. (WEHT) — The first Friday after 5 of the season is wrapping in Owensboro. Several thousand people were expected tonight, which organizers say is a great turnout after canceling last week's event due to severe weather. 'I hope we are prepared,' says Jerome Hernandez. For some, it is their first time. Jerome Hernandez and his wife moved to Owensboro from the Philippines over a decade ago and brought their authentic homeland cuisine with them. Tonight, they shared that taste with the crowds at Friday after 5 with their food truck called 'Mangkok Filipino Cuisine.' 'Filipino food is actually not really known yet. But we came over here to Owensboro to introduce our Filipino culture,' Hernandez says. The couple says they are known for their pork skewers and have been cooking non-stop today for a steady line of customers. 'I'll give the credit to my wife because she came up with all of this, and she came up with the ingredients and everything. We are nervous, and we have been quite busy, but we are bringing it all we have,' says Hernandez. Down the street is the booth 'Craft OBKY,' a mobile bar that sells alcohol and mocktails. It also says lines of people on Friday after 5. 'It has been absolutely amazing, you could not ask for better weather…a great day to come out after missing last week due to the bad weather,' says Whitney Cox, the mobile bar owner. Cox says they almost sold out within the first few hours of opening. Organizers say 10 to 12 thousand people came out tonight, which they say is largely due to the performance lineup. 'Just because of the Ikons of Rock tour, everybody said they were coming, so we should have expected this. It is kind of out of our scope, so we are really excited. We can expect a crowd like this every week, it looks like. We are just glad we could bring this level of performers to the Tri-State area,' says Gabby Knight, the treasurer, Friday After 5 board.
