  • Kay’s Branch News: “And a wonderful time was had by all”

    I think there were many prayers lifted to Heaven Friday night, concerning weather. Saturday dawned cold but cleared and it was a beautiful fall day for the Monterey Homecoming Fair.
    I went down early to help set up the cemetery committee’s booth. Teresa Davis had already gotten the booth pretty much finished except for a couple of chairs and the easel to put the pictures on and the photos themselves. I had mounted them on cardboard so people could see them better.

  • Monterey Matters: Organizers, sponsors deserve special thanks

    What a wonderful day it turned out to be for the Monterey Homecoming Fair 2012.
We could not have asked for better weather especially for October. I have heard several people say (and I have to agree) that this was the best fair in a very long time as far as the weather and the attendance. It seemed there were a lot more booths this year despite the fact that several food vendors didn’t show up. This left the ones that were there running out of food sooner than they had planned. I believe they even ran out of burgoo too.

  • Comeback falls short

    Friday night’s Owen County High School football homecoming contest came down to the final seconds and then some.
    After leading 7-0 at halftime, the Rebels found themselves down 21-7 early in the fourth quarter.
    Owen County however refused to quit clawing their way back to 21-14 with 2:28 left to play in the game.
    With the Walton-Verona offense coming on the field, Owen County had three timeouts remained and had to force a three-and-out to have a chance to tie the game. That is exactly what they would get as the defense came up big and forced the punt.
