  • Corrections -Jan. 14, 2016

    There were two mistakes in our Best Of Readers’ Choice award special section in the Jan. 7 issue of The Oldham Era. The name of Griffin McLarty, tied for runner-up in the Best Athlete category, was misspelled. Also, in the Best Coach category, winner Amira Stevens is with CrossFit 222, not CrossFit Bluegrass Oldham.

    Also, although many voters wrote in Stoess Hardware as their choice for Best Hardware Store, that business is now known as Crestwood Hardware.

    We apologize for the errors.
