  • Fair ends early

    Strong storms caused the Oldham County Fair to shut down early, forgoing the biggest night of the week.

    After a crowd of a couple thousand Friday night, fair board members were hoping for a gate of about $30,000 for Saturday night with the draw of motocross competition. But the forecast said otherwise, board member Rae Anne Roley said. They were able to hold the talent contest Saturday afternoon in qualification for the state fair.

    The loss of income could be devastating to the fair, Roley said.

  • An extra personal touch

    The most precious things in life are done by hand.  We have marvelous washing machines for clothes and for dishes, but they have never made a machine to bathe a baby. Babies are bathed by hand.

    Someone wrote these words:

    “I almost weep when looking back

    To childhood’s distant day.

    I think how those hands rested not

    When mine were at their play.

    I’ve looked on hands whose form and hue

    A sculptor’s dream might be.

    Yet are these aged, wrinkled hands, 

    More beautiful to me.”
