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. 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.

Michael Downs, 47, (left) and his brother Mark Huff, 40, (right) fish at their spot near the Cynthiana Boat Ramp along the South Fork Licking River in Cynthiana, Kentucky on Sunday, June 2, 2024. The brother’s have a few spots they frequent around town, but the ramp is one of their favorites, “when I’m off work, I’m here,” Michael said.
