Big Lots Closing Nearly 300 Stores Including Several in Indiana and Kentucky
Is facing significant changes, including store closures in Indiana and Kentucky. I love having two locations in Evansville because the app will direct me to the location that actually has what I'm looking for in stock. I found the cutest little desk and a Mickey Mouse Club jacket! But soon we will be losing two Big Lots stores in our area.
Did You Know Kentucky Has Six Official Regions?
If someone were to ask you what Kentucky's regions were named, how many of you would say, "Eastern KY, Western KY, Northern KY, South Central KY, and the Lakes?" I ask that because I have not heard one mention of the Commonwealth's official regions since I was in elementary school.
You Want No Part of This KY Critter — It’s a ‘Cow Killer’, For Crying Out Loud
I laugh--AND get a little sentimental--when I remember riding horses when we'd visit family out West when I was younger. As recently as my teen years and early 20s (and it's not really THAT recent), I'd look forward to hopping on a horse and going for a ride. Those days...

Boonville High School Trapshoot Team in Need of Halloween Decorations for Haunted Trail
I’ll be completely honest, I’m not quite ready for summer to end. I adore pool days, water parks, and rocking shorts and t-shirts. But then again, Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I’m not the type to start decorating in September, but we’ve already started planning our family costumes, and guess what? We’re going as Peter Pan! I’m on the hunt for some green tights to complete the look. Scary, right?
New Drink Banned in Indiana but Legal in Ohio and Illinois
A new non-alcoholic beverage called "New Brew" has been banned in Indiana but remains legal in surrounding states. READ MORE: Will Drinking Diet Coke Lead to an Early Grave?. I'm a fairly simple man when it comes to my daily beverage intake. Every morning, I have a cup or two of black coffee, and then it's usually just water for the rest of the day. However, a couple of times a week, I treat myself to an ice-cold glass of milk or a chilled can of Diet Coke. I really don't consume an abundance of alcohol, energy drinks, or other sports drinks these days, so New Brew was definitely not on my radar. However, I do believe it's important for folks to be aware of it, especially if you live in the Hoosier State, because it could get you into trouble.
