It’s time once again to get your swing on and join the Grayson Chamber of Commerce in their yearly fundraising event, the Chamber Golf Scramble.
Once again being held at Hidden Cove Golf Course nestled in the beautiful backdrop of Grayson Lake State Resort Park on Friday, October 3rd. Registration begins at 8:00 AM with a shotgun start at 9:00 AM.
The chamber is looking for foursomes to compete in an 18 hole scramble with a top prize of $10,000 for a hole in one on hole number 11. Other prizes include a 50” Samsung Smart TV, a vacation stay, and many other surprises.
A “heckle hole” will also be utilized where you can pay a heckler to “throw off the game of your opponents” but be cautious as your competition may pay off Mr. Heckler in their favor.
Breakfast, lunch by El Mixteco and snacks and drinks along the way will be furnished by Racers.
There are also opportunities for businesses and organizations to sponsor a hike, have a tent to add some PR and or help with the food expenses. Donations are also being sought for goodie bags for our golfers.

Carter County residents will once again have the chance to safely dispose of old tires during the county’s Fall Tire Collection Event. The event runs Thursday and Friday, October 2nd and 3rd from 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM, and Saturday, October 4th from 8:00 AM until noon, at 1558 North State Highway 7 in Grayson.
All types of tires will be accepted — whether on or off the rim — including passenger, light truck, tractor, motorcycle, bicycle, golf cart, and lawn tractor tires. However, some restrictions do apply: the county cannot accept foam-filled tires, calcium-filled tires, off-road construction tires, rubber tracks, or solid press-on tires.
This event is open to all Kentucky residents, but tire retailers, scrap and salvage yards, and recycling businesses are prohibited from participating. If you plan to bring a large load, you’ll need to bring help to unload.
The tire collection is sponsored by Carter County in partnership with the Kentucky Division of Waste Management, giving residents a safe, free way to clean up and recycle responsibly.

The weekly meeting series is held every Tuesday evening at the First Church of Christ on Pomeroy Street in Grayson, with this week’s session beginning at 6:30 p.m. The program offers a welcoming and judgment-free environment where individuals can take steps toward healing and victorious living.
