In news from the Grayson Chamber: if you enjoy a day on the golf course and want to support some worthwhile causes at the same time, the Grayson Chamber of Commerce is already looking ahead to this year’s Chamber Golf Scramble.
The annual event is set for Friday, October 2nd, 2026, at Hidden Cove Golf Course at Grayson Lake State Park.
This year’s scramble will have a special purpose, with proceeds benefiting Kentucky Christian University’s Nursing Program and its OzzyFest events.
OzzyFest helps raise awareness and support for families affected by DIPG, a terminal pediatric brain cancer, making the golf scramble an opportunity to enjoy some friendly competition while helping support efforts that make a difference in the community.
The Chamber is encouraging golfers, businesses, and anyone interested in supporting these causes to save the date now. Registration information and additional details will be announced at a later time.
So mark your calendar for October 2nd and get ready to hit the links at Hidden Cove Golf Course for the 2026 Grayson Chamber Golf Scramble.
More information, including registration details as they become available, will be shared by the Grayson Chamber of Commerce.

The Olive Hill Center for Arts and Heritage is asking the community to come together to help restore an important part of the historic center. The organization has launched a fundraising effort to repair and restore the bathrooms at the Olive Hill Center, after the facilities sustained significant damage last year that left them in need of major repairs.
Since then, those involved with the center have continued working to keep the building welcoming and available to the community, while planning for the work that needs to be done. Now, they’re asking for a little help from the people who have supported the center and the many activities that take place there.
The Olive Hill Center for Arts and Heritage is home to community events, performances, classes, tea room rentals, and plenty of other gatherings throughout the year. It’s a place where people can come together, enjoy the arts, learn something new, celebrate special occasions, and simply spend time with their neighbors.
But keeping a community facility like this open and welcoming takes work, and the bathroom repairs are an important part of making sure the center can continue serving the community for years to come. The center has established a GoFundMe campaign to raise the money needed for those repairs and restoration.
It’s ultimately about helping preserve a place where people in Olive Hill and throughout our area can gather, create, learn, and celebrate the arts.
The goal is simple: restore an important part of the Olive Hill Center for Arts and Heritage and help keep the doors open for the community events, performances, classes, rentals, and special moments that make the center such an important part of Olive Hill.

The Carter County Clean-Up campaign continues this week, with crews operating on the East end of the county. Dumpsters will be available for public use at the county maintenance garage located in Grayson, and clean-up personnel will be on hand to help unload items each day from 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM, today through Friday.
As a reminder, the list of items not accepted has been updated. Crews will not collect refrigerators, deep freezers, televisions, household garbage, paint, tires, or batteries. And all materials brought to the site must be bagged or boxed — no loose items will be accepted. The County Clean-Up runs on a rotating schedule, alternating between the East and West ends of Carter County every two weeks. After this week’s collection, dumpsters are scheduled to return to the maintenance garage located along US 60 from September 23rd through the 25th.
This valuable community service is made possible by the Carter County Solid Waste Department, who continue to support these efforts to keep our neighborhoods clean, safe, and beautiful. Again, dumpsters are open today through Friday, 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM, at the West end site in Olive Hill.
