Award of Excellence: Big Life in a Small Town

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.

Denise Lyons, 57, takes a break from work, tickling Lucas, 10, at Frames ’n Things on Thursday, June 27, 2024 in downtown Cynthiana, Kentucky.
