Celebrate the season with Bernheim Forest as they host their Holiday Open House on Saturday, December 6 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“The Holiday Open House is a fun and festive day of shopping and celebrating in the forest,” said Bernheim Forest Director of Marketing and Communications Lynette Cox. “Visitors will enjoy holiday music, refreshments, and hourly giveaways while they shop for the perfect gift.”
The event is free and no registration is required.
“You can browse a selection of handcrafted gifts from Kentucky artisans including jewelry, cozy apparel, pottery, walking sticks, and more,” Cox said. “You’ll find everything that you need for the nature lover, bird lover, and cook in your life.”
If you have not had the chance to visit Bernheim, the Holiday Open House is a good opportunity to do so.
“We’ve got all kinds of gifts in the gift shop at Bernheim for nature lovers and pet lovers,” Cox said. “It’s a great time to come out to the forest and take a hike and then knock a little shopping off your list while you shop local.”

Hardin County EMS will be celebrating Monday.
“We have a pretty big event coming up with the ambulance, the ninth ambulance, that we are going to celebrate at the White Mills station of West Hardin Fire and Rescue, and we’re going to have a ceremony there, a roll-in ceremony, on Monday, December 1, at 8:30 a.m.,” said Hardin County Judge/Executive Keith Taul during Tuesday’s Hardin County Fiscal Court meeting.
Hardin County Government says the roll-in ceremony is a tradition that dates to the era of horse-drawn apparatus.
The county says the addition of the White Mills ambulance “will substantially decrease run times”, with current data showing the average time from a call placed to an ambulance arriving on scene is 30 minutes. Hardin County EMS has three ambulances posted in Elizabethtown, three in Radcliff, one in Sonora, and one at the Hardin County Detention Center.
In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be postponed, but ambulance service will commence on December 1 regardless. Follow the Hardin County Government Facebook page for updates.
This week we meet Beebop, a 1 year old brindle and white pittie weighing 50 pounds, and Nova, a 1 year old lab/hound mix weighing 55 pounds, 2 dogs looking for new Furever homes.

A Hardin County couple remains incarcerated after they allegedly threw a man from a balcony in Elizabethtown, leading to the man’s death.
Shawn Durbin and Nancy Durbin face charges of Complicity to Commit Murder following an incident in Elizabethtown earlier this month.
“At around 8 p.m. on November 3th, officers responded to 109 East Memorial Drive on the report of an adult male in cardiac arrest after reportedly being thrown from his second story balcony,” said Elizabethtown Police Department Public Information Officer Chris Denham. “Investigators determined Shawn and Nancy Durbin acted together to throw the victim, Mr. Bobby Pennington, off the balcony. As a result, he was critically injured and later passed away.”
Pennington was 62.
Both of the Durbins were indicted by a grand jury on November 20. They are both being held in the Hardin County Detention Center on $500,000 cash bonds.
