The Hancock County Fair opens Thursday for a four-day run at the fairgrounds on Highway 1389. 

The fair offers all of the traditional attractions and more.  The fair has won awards as one of the best county fairs in the Commonwealth.

It continues Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 

Rides open at 5 p.m.

Renovations in the Ohio County Sheriffs Office are shaping up and almost complete.

U.S. Postal officials are looking into closing many offices across the country and the one sitting in the McLean County community of  Beech Grove made the list.

David Walton of the USPS says if the office does close, a village post office could set up in a local business or a central box unit could also sit in town.

Either way though, residents would have to either keep their same address and receive mail through Calhoun or set up a P.O.
