Honoring Law Enforcement Officers

 

The Lyon Co KFB is proud of our law enforcement and emergency responders. Thank you for all that you do.

The county has pulled together after the recent fatal shooting of KSP Trooper Ponder. A prayer vigil will be held at the court house at Veteran's Court on Sunday, Sept 20 at 7:30pm for Officer Ponder, according to Judge Executive, Wade White.
Citizens are wearing blue ribbons, flags are at half mast, and blue ribbons placed on the flag poles to show support of our emergency responders.

 

We would like to acknowledge the following:

Lyon Co KFB board member, Captain Brent White, is Commander of KSP Post 2 in Madisonville. He was promoted to such September 2015.
Lyon County citizen, Captain Janet Barnett, is Commander of KSP Post 1 in Mayfield. She is the first female commander for the Mayfield post. Her promotion occurred October 2014.

Tucked into central Kentucky, Boyle County is home to meandering countryside, charming towns, and rich history. The county seat of Danville is known as the Birthplace of Kentucky. In the 1770s, the area’s central location on the “Wilderness Road,” blazed by Daniel Boone, led pioneers through Danville, which became a gathering spot for early settlers and political activity.
