Reflections of Edmonton Pumpkin Festival 2023 By Carol Perkins The annual Pumpkin Festival was a success once again. The square in Edmonton had no parking places by the time I arrived at nine-thirty that morning, so I meandered around the City Building and parked in the Tri-County parking lot. Since my booth was the only one not ready for business, I hustled across the street, carrying as much as I could and my cup of coffee, and organized my tables. According to a local official, the crowd started arriving by 7:30. I was at home, layering up, at 7:30. The windy, chilly day did not keep the shoppers away.

According to KDPH Commissioner Dr. Steven Stack, the move follows the approach the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other states are taking to help families find respiratory virus information at one location. "As we continue into the fall and winter cold and flu season, this site, and a new Respiratory Virus Data Dashboard that is part of this site, will provide awareness of where Kentucky stands with regard to spikes and decreases in these viruses to help inform personal decisions," Dr. Stack said. The Respiratory Virus Data Dashboard will include COVID-19 and influenza data beginning the first week of October, the official start of flu season. Data will be updated weekly, on Thursdays, and will replace the current flu report and current COVID-19 dashboard. Weekly reports will be archived.
