The 'Save Our Stage' concert on Nov. 21 will feature singer Casey James. Livestream tickets will be sold in addition to 200 tickets to see the show inside the Alhambra.

In the spirit(s) of Halloween, WKMS will present two spooky-themed specials from American Public Media on Friday, Oct. 30. They include "Selected Shorts: Haunting for Halloween" and "Hollywood Halloween."

Twelve contestants came out for the beards contest. The audience also participated in a Hopkinsville trivia contest.

Rather than having several thousand people crowded on downtown sidewalks, the audience will drive by the parked parade.

The workshops, focused on home entertaining and led by local experts, will be in The Hall at the Alhambra Theatre downtown.

A Hopkinsville trivia contest, sponsored by Hoptown Chronicle, will occur during breaks in the Beards of the Brewery competition. Several prizes donated by local businesses and organizations will be awarded. The trivia questions are about local history and downtown.

Hopkinsville's downtown trick-or-treat event will be replaced by the first-ever "Halloween Scare-A-Van," a drive-thru event set for 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 30 at Trail of Tears Park.

Area residents contributed more than 600 recipes for the project.

Anyone who goes for a flu shot on Oct. 14 will also have the option of being tested for COVID-19.

Other events include a spooky stroll through a local cemetery and movie night at the museum.

Hopkinsville native bell hooks is among several dozen authors featured in the anthology that explores unique Appalachian struggles, questions, and values.

Similar memorial gatherings are planned across the country at the same time.
