Logan Trimble (left) and Oliver Dekrey (right) play on the playground during recess on their first day of school at Eastside Elementary on August 8, 2024 in Cynthiana, Kentucky. SUMMARY: Small towns are often looked down on as sleepy and uneventful, but that doesn’t make the stories that come from them any less important. Take a look at a summer in Cynthiana - which may be in rural Kentucky, but could easily represent a small town in any corner of the United States. Chaotic, colorful, Harrison County.
