HARRODSBURG ? On Sept. 12, area residents will have the chance to hear performances by local talent. They will even get the chance to vote on what they hear. Mercer County Foundation for Education will host an MC Idol competition beginning at 11 a.m. Sept. 12 in the Mercer County Senior High School auditorium. Even though the event is called "MC Idol," it's open to more than Mercer County residents, said Becky Holt, executive director for the foundation. Holt said the event is a chance to showcase local talent, but isn't a "third-grade talent show.

Dear Editor, I had the pleasure of attending the talent show at Danville High School on Friday. Not only was I greatly entertained by the students who participated, I was impressed by the excellent behavior of the student audience. Danville High School is filled with young people who have a variety of talents. Each of those individuals who entered the talent show were listened to, cheered for and encouraged by their peers. What a wonderful experience it was to see this group of young people truly united and supportive of one another.

Dear Editor: The Crab Orchard Neighborhood Watch would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every business in Danville, Stanford, Crab Orchard, and surrounding areas for all their support and donations in making our talent show March 4 a huge success. We would also like to thank the people who participated in the contest as well as the people who worked so diligently in the Neighborhood Watch.

Saturday had “pitch” perfect conditions for everyone at the dunking booth of the inaugural Granny Ruby's Daycare spring carnival, mother Charlotte Rambo said.  Her daughter, 8-year-old Makayla, was one of the early targets at the booth; Makayla attends the day-care center. “Today is important because they are raising money to go to the University of Kentucky Children's Hospital, and this carnival was a really good way to do that,” Charlotte Rambo said. “The talent show has really been our favorite part of the day so far.” Rambo was out with several of her sons and daughter and said they were more than happy to volunteer while also enjoying the carnival.

The highlight of the two-day event is the parade, which will go as planned despite the downtown work, according to Nicholasville Now Director Tonya Coleman. “The parade will be Saturday at 10 a.m., and the theme for the parade is Headed to the Future,” she said. “We would like the floats to go along with the theme.” The downtown work should not interfere with the parade and other events, Coleman said.
