From the News Edge: Transportation officials are reporting a traffic backup along the westbound lanes of I-24 in the work zone from near the Kentucky-Tennessee State Line to the Fort Campbell Boulevard exit. The contractor is pouring concrete as part of ongoing pavement rehabilitation work around the 89-mile marker, near the Pembroke-Oak Grove exit. While concrete trucks are moving in and out of this work area delivering material, the traffic backup appears to be more related to heavy traffic along the westbound lanes today. Westbound I-24 traffic in this work zone is backed up about 3 to 4 miles at this time with traffic slowed to about 35 mph in the area. To help reduce traffic congestion in this area, regular commuters who normally travel this section of I-24 westbound are being asked to seek an alternate route, if possible...............................................................................................................................A Night With The Blues is Saturday night at the Alhambra Theatre. The show will feature the music of blues band “Willie Sugarcapps.” VIP tickets are $50 each and included reserve seating and an "eat, meet, and greet" with the band before the show. General admission tickets are $25 each. Proceeds benefit the Pennyroyal Arts Council. To get tickets, call the Pennyroyal Arts Council, or go to pennyroyalarts.org

Trigg County Civil War Days

Trigg County Civil War Days are back and organizers say this year will be bigger and have more events then ever before. Organizer Gary Polete says they decided to move the event to the old soccer field area on Blue Springs Road in Barkley State Park so that they can continue to grow.

Polete says they're hoping the larger venue will draw more spectators and participants including Cavalry re-enactors.

In addition to the reenactment, Polete says they will be adding several new events this year and hope to have lots of participants.

The "Battle of Blue Springs" Trigg County Civil War Days will March 22nd through the 24th. For more information or to register call Gary Polete at 522-9214.
