WBKR-FM (Owensboro, KY)

It's baaaaaaack! And Deadwood Manor is bigger, better, and scarier than ever. Chad Benefield/WBKR Chad Benefield/WBKR Daymon and Karla Ward of Owensboro have once again transformed their front yard into a haunted house of horrors. Over the last few years, Daymon has concocted some pretty crazy and ambitious Halloween ideas. In 2022, he built a roller coaster in the front yard. Last year, there was a haunted pirate ship that looked like something you'd see in front of Treasure Island in Las Vegas.

My Facebook feed was recently inundated with cute pictures of girl dads and their daughters, which isn't uncommon, except these dads were claiming some pretty big titles. Dad of the Year, you say? Explain yourselves! A 501(c)(3) charity organization known as Colossal Management is behind all of these "Best Of" awards we've been seeing all over the internet over the past year. The most recent contest is the Super Dad contest, which comes with a $25,000 grand prize (among other awesome prizes).

The CMA Entertainer of the Year award is the biggest individual honor handed out by the Country Music Association — and for female artists, simply earning a nomination can be a major career milestone. Only 10 women have won the award in CMA history, with Lainey Wilson becoming the most recent addition to that group. She won in 2023 and 2025, joining a short list that includes Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Shania Twain and Taylor Swift. The 2026 CMA Awards will take place Nov.

Luke Grimes is pleasantly surprised that Marshals made it to a second season. The actor returned as Kayce Dutton for the Yellowstone spinoff, but he admits he never expected the CBS series to become a long-term commitment. Now that Season 2 is underway, Grimes is revealing just how low his expectations were when he first signed on. Grimes told the Hollywood Reporter that he genuinely thought Marshals would run for just one season. To be completely honest, that’s what I thought was going to happen.

A gorgeous historic home sits on almost two acres in the middle of Bowling Green, Kentucky. Fairview Ave also known as Cemetery Rd., is lined with mostly smaller houses except for the stately 5,100 sq ft 'mansion' set back, surrounded by trees and steeped in mystery. It has had quite a few caretakers over the years, but its early history is as gruesome as it gets. Bowling Green natives all know the tragic story of this legendary home that was built by James Finis Ewing in 1856.

Minka Kelly and Dan Reynolds have spent the past four years building a relationship that has largely stayed out of the spotlight. The Ransom Canyon actress and Imagine Dragons frontman occasionally offered glimpses into their life together, from sharing their most vulnerable creative work to spending time with Reynolds' children. But after a summer filled with seemingly happy moments, there is now a new report about where the couple stands.

It seems like 2026 has been a pretty quiet year for hurricanes. Currently, the first Atlantic hurricane of 2026 is threatening the U.S. Gulf Coast. A tropical depression formed yesterday and overnight strengthened into Tropical Storm Isaias, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. In a media briefing, they warned that the storm would likely continue to develop and become Hurricane Isaias by Thursday.

Jennifer Nettles has a new film called Heartland coming to Netflix this fall and this Nashville thriller is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. The film follows reclusive country singer named Misty Jones who is played by Jessica Chastain. We're not sure why Misty has left the spotlight, but we definitely know that she's left Nashville and has no desire to return. That is, until her niece goes missing.

Your options are many when you visit East Tennessee and the Smoky Mountains. Navigating every must-see adventure offered in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville seems like it would require a degree in vacation planning. Or, if you can't afford the "tuition," you simply skip some stuff until the next time. Leave no stone unturned. Fill every nook and cranny.

Today I told my husband I am just not in the Halloween spirit like I wish I was. I got my jack-o'-lantern and skeleton blow molds out on the porch. We've been watching scary movies and making soup now that the weather has cooled off, but I need to really get in the macabre mood. Get good and spooked! One of my favorite things to do to set a good mood is to make a playlist. So that is what we're gonna do.
