Good morning, Frankfort.

Frankfort High’s Jamie Bessinger won first place in a pottery competition at the National Beta Convention held in Nashville last month, using a battery-operated lamp design to capture the event’s 'wired for success' theme.

Charli O'Dell, Zoe Fields and Anna Morton will perform in 'CATS: Young Actors Edition' at Gateway Regional Arts Center, and the debut is set soon + promising a spirited local musical showing that invites community attendance.
