Tickets are $10 each and are available on the Trooper Island website or any KSP Post throughout the state. A max of 50,000 tickets will be sold, with the raffle drawing tentatively scheduled for August 25, 2024, at 3pmET, during the Kentucky State Fair. Ticket holders do not have to be present to win.

Trooper Island Camp was established in 1965 by the Kentucky State Police at Dale Hollow Lake, near the Cumberland and Clinton County line. This free summer camp is designed for children aged 10-12 from families facing financial challenges. Every year, approximately 700 campers participate in a wide range of activities, including athletics, kayaking, archery, fishing, swimming, and many other camping experiences. The camp aims to instill leadership, teamwork, and valuable life skills while creating lasting memories for the children.

Through the Fire youth group helps people in need

From Lisa Tucker

Through the Fire Worship Center's 3-7 year old Sunday School Class has been working hard in November. They have such big hearts to be so young. They asked if they could help some people in need. It's not about what you have or don't have, it's about what you need.

The Sunday School Class collected food for a few weeks and delivered to a local Blessing Box. They also stocked their own Blessing Box, located at our church at 24 Burnett Road, Columbia, KY, (off old Burkesville Loop Road near Walmart).

Carol Perkins: Santa and Junior

Previous Column: Red or Gold

By Carol Perkins

Santa settled by the roaring fireplace and drank his hot chocolate. It had been a long day, and his work was grueling. Many kids now asked for technological gifts rather than trucks, cars, and dolls, so he had to work his tech elves over time, tiring out their little bodies.

"I may have to retire," he proclaimed while blowing his drink to cool it.

Mrs. Claus laughed. "You've been threatening that for years, but I haven't noticed you slowing down."

He continued. "Yes, but I've got these bum knees now and a hip that kills me every time I hike my leg to get into the sleigh." Santa had been complaining more frequently over the last few years.

She continued. "Why don't you stop falling down chimneys and stovepipes and go through doors? And what about all those kids sitting on your knees? No wonder your knees are shot. That huffing and puffing gets you back up, but it's the going down that kills you."
