Christian County was among 46 counties last year that received funding to expand high-speed internet.

Appointments were made to the Board of Ethics, Human Rights Commission, Housing Authority and the Hopkinsville-Christian County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau.

In this month's Snapshots in Time column, Alissa Keller details the history behind a 1978 Christian County cookbook — and highlights from a recent event inspired by its recipes.

The tour showcases cemeteries, medical clinics, churches and Attucks High School.

Highlights of the fair include the carnival rides and games, tractor pulls, beauty pageants, the demolition derby, and 4-H and FFA livestock contests.

Guests who attend the Thursday evening museum program can sample recipes from an old Hopkinsville cookbook.

For the first gathering on June 17, the group will discuss “Communion: The Female Search for Love.”

The 2024-25 Live series featuring six musical shows begins in September with an Eagles tribute band.

A $5,000 allocation from Mayor James R. Knight Jr.'s discretionary fund will cover the free admission and special programming for students.

Appointments were announced to the museum, Hopkinsville Electric, convention center and the police and fire pension boards.

The plan includes a pedestrian bridge over Eagle Way bypass and hinges on the federal grant covering 80% of the construction cost.

The idea grew out of a discussion about how to support all of the city’s small businesses — not just those downtown.
