Oh, Kentucky

The American Cornhole Organization's world championship has moved to Owensboro.

Almost time for Winter Adventure Weekend, formerly known at "Crawlathon," at Carter Caves State Resort Park.

From a Viper man ill with a lung disease, writing in The Hazard Herald about community support through a GoFundMe.com account: "Please keep me in your prayers. It’s been a very humbling experience for me, to say the least. I have a debt of gratitude that I can never repay. I’ll try and pay it forward though. May God bless all those who helped me in any and every way. I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is all in the Lord’s hands now. It was good to know so many wonderful people came forward to help me and I am eternally grateful to and love each and everyone of you. May God bless you all."
