Good morning, Owensboro.

At Dugan Best Park, families gathered on Saturday afternoon for Gala Day, where children played on an inflatable water slide—free hamburgers and hot dogs were served.

Strong wind gusts from a brief thunderstorm knocked down a large section of a shopping center’s awning near Scherm Road and Lewis Lane Saturday afternoon—landing on several parked vehicles while no injuries were reported and cleanup continued later.

Lanham Brothers Jamboree returns on August 16 at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum and will be filmed for KET—Randy and Barry Lanham will host a live show featuring bluegrass, country, gospel, dance and comedy with a mix of returning and new performers, sponsored by Winsupply of Owensboro.

The Diocese of Owensboro is moving forward with a $2 million campaign to build new retirement apartments for senior priests, where 26 priests have pledged over $100K and the outdated Bishop Cotton Apartments behind the Carmel Home will be demolished—Bishop Medley plans to kick off the public phase with receptions in August to share the project vision. The new 1,000-square-foot units will offer independent living with shared chapel space, addressing growing housing needs for local clergy.

A 157-acre tract along Booth Field Road near Ben Hawes Park was rezoned to Urban Agriculture so the former family farm will be divided among relatives rather than developed into a dense subdivision.

Some neighbors expressed concern about future lots—planners said any extra subdivision will require public notice—while commissioners approved the change unanimously.
