Fourth grade honor roll

Owen County resident Melissa Petreshock had always dreamed of writing a novel. Now that her dream has finally come true, others in the county are taking notice.

Petreshock will be at the Owen County Public Library from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Oct. 29 for a book signing of her debut novel, “Awakening of a Guardian.”

Petreshock said her novel was self-published Aug. 27.

The young-adult novel revolves around a teenage girl named Elyssia Masters.

Sheila Wilson, a valedictorian and 2007 graduate of Owen County High School, was recently honored to be on Murray State University’s homecoming court as a 2009 homecoming queen candidate.

Wilson was nominated by Murray State’s Agriculture Ambassadors.

The Owen County Fair Board will hold its first annual fall truck and tractor pull fund-raiser Oct. 10.

Fair board member Ashley Young said many people have requested a better carnival for the Owen County fair, which is held every July.

“People want a bigger carnival and they want to see new things at the fair each year,” Young said. “There are a lot of people in the county that pull trucks and it’s a popular event around here, so it will be a good way to raise money for the fair.”
