  • Man of the Hour: Oldham Countian of the Year Awarded

    For 47 years, the Oldham Chamber and Economic Development has recognized one person annually for going above and beyond their commitment to the county.

    The Great Pumpkin is alive and well in Oldham County this season, despite shortages across other pumpkin-farming states.

    In Oldham, however, pumpkins had a good season, according to several area farmers.
