Fair lineup & fires

The Crittenden County Lions Club Fair begins later this month and The Crittenden Press will have all of the details in this week's printed edition. Fair favorites like the demolition derby will be back, plus a new donkey basketball night that will feature old-timer ball players from county schools like Frances and Mattoon.

Another article readers can look for in this week's printed newspaper is a warning from local fire chiefs about controlled burns. They say it's dry right now and fire starters should be careful. Additionally, those conducting controlled burns should call the police department at 965-3500 and let everyone know before they strike the match.

The Press will also have a closeup look at Rachel Yarborough, the new school superintendent in Crittenden County.

These news stories and more can be found in the next issue, which will be on newsstands today (Wednesday) beginning at 2 p.m.
