A dedication of a shooting deck at the Henderson cabin was held July 4 in memory of Rick Fondaw who passed away on May 17. He was honored with a 21-gun salute. More than 300 were in attendance throughout the weekend.
Our sympathy is extended to the family of Pat Holsapple, 76, who died on June 18.
The Dycusburg community was saddened when Travis Conditt, 19, drowned in the Cumberland River on June 23. Recovery crews found his body only a few feet from where he went under while swimming with a friend.
As part of a community grant, the Dycusburg Community Group will be building a park in town within the next 1-2 months, including concrete picnic tables and grills. The equipment has been delivered, but due to the extreme heat, construction will begin at a later date.
