Kentucky Bigfoot calling contest is a scream
STANTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — Music, food, and crafts at a recent festival in Stanton brought people out of the woodwork. It was also hoped the event would bring a creature out of the woods. 'If you talk about Bigfoot in certain circles, you're going to get laughed at,' said Steve Lindsey, one of the hosts of the Kentucky-based 'News Worthy??' podcast. 'Everybody is either here because they believe or they want to believe.' Kentucky Bigfoot calling contest is a scream Louisville's Cave Hill Cemetery: A final resting place full of history and mystery A ferry is still a loved way to cross the Kentucky River The first-ever Bigfoot Festival celebrated that there have been dozens of reports of the legendary creature in the nearby Red River Gorge. The cryptid would have been welcome at the festival, so much so that dozens of people lined up to call for him in a contest that was a real scream. No words can describe the variety of yells, whoops, and whistles performed by the crowd. Charlie Raymond, founder of the Kentucky Bigfoot Research Organization, leads local hunts for the creature. He was the perfect person to judge the contest, because he believes he's heard the real thing. 'You could tell some of them have done their homework,' he said. He said whoops and guttural growls are closer to the real thing.

The crowd in the audience roared in approval. 'I can do long laughs and stuff and make a bunch of weird noises, so I just kind of knew what I would do,' Tennison said. Bigfoot didn't answer the call at this festival, but the creature sure has a fan club in these parts. You have to believe that if he ever comes out of hiding, he'd want to make tracks here. 'We were taken aback by how many people were excited about Bigfoot and Bigfoot calling. It was a successful event,' Raymond said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

GLOW hot-air balloon event aids Children's Smile Center in Ozark
OZARK, Mo. — The 19th annual GLOW air balloon event is happening in Ozark to support the Children's Smile Center on Friday, June 20. According to a Children's Smile Center press release, the air balloon event is being presented by Ozark Chevrolet and starts at 8:45 p.m. on June 20 at Finley River Park in Ozark. The event will include multiple hot air balloons and a 60 to 90 minute light show, the release says. Visitors will be able to see the balloons up close, speak with the pilots and get inside the basket. 'The GLOW is a fun event for all ages,' Jackie Barger, executive director, said in the release. 'Rarely do people have the opportunity to see the balloons close up, but here you can visit with the pilots and then watch an amazing light show. We want everyone to know that the event is extremely sensitive to weather and wind conditions. The unpredictability of Ozarks weather means there is always a chance the event could not be held. Please keep informed through our Facebook page.' The event is part of the Sertoma Duck Race Festival, which will be from June 20 to June 21. The festival will include live music, food booths, business vendors and a kids' zone with carnival activities. The GLOW event's funding goes to the Children's Smile Center to provide dental care for children from ages 1 to 19 covered by Missouri Medicaid who live in Christian, Stone, Taney, Dade, Barry or Lawrence Counties. The dental clinics reside in Ozark, Branson West and Aurora. 'We are grateful to local corporate sponsors for underwriting this event and providing funds to help provide our dental clinics to people from low-income families served by Medicaid,' Barger said. 'Because of this support, we are privileged to put smiles on many faces, just like our GLOW.' For more information on the event, visit GLOW's Facebook event. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Trump dismisses protests, touts Kennedy Center's future at ‘Les Mis' opening
President Trump on Wednesday attended the opening night performance of 'Les Misérables,' one of the first shows to hit the stage at the Kennedy Center since Trump drastically overhauled the performing arts center's operations. Trump and first lady Melania Trump attended the show and a fundraiser in support of the center. A smattering of protesters greeted Trump outside the Kennedy Center, and a handful of performers skipped Wednesday's performance in protest of Trump's attendance. 'I couldn't care less,' Trump said of the boycotts. 'All I do is run the country well.' The president said Wednesday's fundraiser brought in $10 million for the Kennedy Center. The performance at the Kennedy Center's nearly 2,400-seat Opera House was completely sold out, according to officials. Some 'specialty seating' tickets, which included a meet-and-greet with the president, were being sold for as much as $2 million. 'We want to bring it back better than ever. As you know it needs a little help from the standpoint of age and fitness, but it's going to be fantastic,' Trump said. 'Les Misérables' is one of the most major productions to hit the Kennedy Center's stages since Trump overhauled the performing arts institution's board in February and named himself its chair. The president, who had accused the Kennedy Center of being too 'woke,' appointed his envoy for special missions Richard Grenell as its interim executive director. The president went on to appoint a slew of political allies as board members, including chief of staff Susie Wiles, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo and senior White House official Sergio Gor. The Kennedy Center earlier this month denied reports that it allegedly saw a 36-percent decline in sales subscriptions following Trump's takeover of the arts hub. The president didn't step foot in the center during his first term in office, bucking tradition and declining to attend the annual Kennedy Center Honors event after several of the awards recipients criticized him.
