 SHEPHERDSVILLE - The greatest gift a parent can give is the gift of life.

 LOUISVILLE - Come one, come all, and all of them indeed came, to the greatest show on Earth.

The entire Nichols Elementary student body attended the Kosair Shrine Circus at Broadbent Arena.

Students received a special visit from Kosair Potentate Dave Juergens, as well as Derby Dan, Flapjack, Sparky and Tinker, all clowns who live in Bullitt County tents.

Nichols staff thanked both Kosair and Publishers Printing for making their day at the circus possible.

 The Hillview Government Center was the scene of a special Valentine dance and dinner for some special needs students in the county.

Family, friends, teachers and aides all had fun on the dance floor.

 LOUISVILLE - One of Louisville’s wildest winter events — the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Kentucky — returns for its fourth year at Tumbleweed on the Waterfront on Saturday, February 25. Once again the event is expected to bring more than 1,500 Polar Bears raising a minimum of $75 each ($50 minimum for Junior Plungers under 18-years-old) to take a chilly dip in the Ohio River.
