Changes at Freeman Lake are to be expected in the upcoming weeks after Hardin County Teen Drowned.  

19 year old Kenny Robertson drowned last week at Freeman Lake while Kayaking. 

Authorities say that Robertson was not wearing his life jacket at the time of the incident. 

Currently it is not required to wear a lifejacket when you rent a watercraft from Freeman Lake, Mayor Jeff Gregory hopes to change that. 

Gregory wants to prevent another tragedy like this from happening again by improving the rules that they currently have.

These changes are currently being talked about and will likely be announced in the upcoming weeks.

To help ease the burden of coming out of a pandemic, many school districts are going to keep offering free lunches for the upcoming year. 

Some are also asking parents to fill out forms so that they can still have accurate data on the free and reduced lunch program.  

Hardin County Schools for example is asking all parents to fill out the Free and Reduced Lunch form.

Director of Communications John Wright says these forms will be sent home with children on the first day of school. They can also be found at Hardin.KYschools.US

Also joining Hardin County in offering free lunches is La-Rue, Grayson, Breckinridge, and Meade counties. For information on what you need to fill out for the free lunches call your local school district.
