Park provides plethora of activies for the horse lover
The legacy of the cowboy can be remembered with famous movies of John Wayne, Clint Eastwood and Jimmy Stewart, as well as many others who brought the life of the horse and rider to the forefront of societal thought. So when you think of the wild open fields, and gentle sloping hills especially in Knox County, the horse and its rider comes to mind. The Knox County Horse Park brings the rustic and wild adventure to passionate horse riders, patrons and friends.

Tim Smith was combining soybeans in a field off North Liberty Road on Thursday afternoon when, “I smelled smoke and had to get out of the field and not set it on fire.” He succeeded and stopped the combine on the lawn of the home at 14809 N. Liberty Road. By then the combine was burning strongly.

Werner: Protocol followed for emergency
During a disaster such as the recent hurricane, one of the major cogs in the local disaster response mechanism is the American Red Cross. Helping serve those who are in need, the Red Cross provides food and shelter for those displaced from their homes.
