Pick up The Crittenden Press this week

Today is Police Blue Ribbon Day

Crittenden Countians have always been known for their True Blue Spirit, but the spunk shown of late for Blue Ribbon projects and other support of law enforcement has been remarkable. In fact, it has drawn regional and even out-of-state media attention from Paducah to Nashville, Tenn., and beyond as ball players and merchants have devoted time, energy and resources toward the cause. Next Thursday, citizens here will have an opportunity to show up in person to support local lawmen during a prayer vigil.
