Good morning, Bowling Green.

Drake’s Creek Middle School hosted its second annual Gator Holiday Market Saturday to support Down Syndrome of Southern Kentucky and its cheer team with local vendors selling goods.

Down Syndrome of Southern Kentucky said it will join the Christmas parade next Saturday—its Christmas party will follow the parade the following Saturday.

Morgan's Fresh Cut Christmas Trees lot opened for its 17th season this weekend in front of Lost River Cave — selling hundreds of live trees, garlands, and wreaths.

The lot is open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. — Sunday 1 to 8 p.m. until stock sells out.

Professor Aaron W. Hughey gave his Sunday sermon urging listeners to take Jesus' words at face value and help those in need without extra conditions.

He explained that his strict upbringing in a small country church led him to see God as loving and clear in his commands (he warned against twisting the true message).

Kentucky’s flu season started early with a mutated virus — a shift from the usual December start — and Med Center Health pediatric specialist Suman Shekar urged residents to vaccinate children and take simple steps to stop the spread.

Shekar said many children have already been seen in urgent care with the flu and that getting vaccinated can shorten sickness duration.

On Saturday, November 29, Western Kentucky lost 37-34 to Jacksonville State at AmFirst Stadium when a 28‑yard field goal as time expired ended the regular season—leaving the Hilltoppers with an 8-4 record and a 6-2 mark in Conference USA play—missing a chance to host the championship game.
