The Stanton Tourism and Convention Commission has taken the last several hours to partake in deep discussion between the National Weather Service, local authorities, and other parties involved.
We are sorry to announce that, due to impending weather from Hurricane Ian, this year’s Pumpkin Festival is unfortunately cancelled.
The safety of our vendors, entertainment, and crowd is our #1 priority and we do not feel that continuing forward with tomorrow’s festival is in the best interest of everyone involved.
Thank you all for your interest and promotion of our festival. We were SO ready to enjoy a Saturday in the gateway of the Red River Gorge with you all, but are looking forward to doing so next year!
At Clay City Council's last meeting Mayor Carmichael mentioned that he would like for Clay City to host another festival. What kind of festival would you like to have? Answer may be printed in a future edition of the Clay City Times.
At Tuesday night's meeting the Clay City Council discussed ways to combat the issue of homelessness. What do you think needs to be done to get people off the streets?

Daytime closures of KY 613 in Powell County June 13-17
JACKSON, Ky. – Work is nearing completion on a break repair project on KY 613 (North Fork Road) in the Red River Gorge in Powell County.
The road has been closed to all traffic at milepoint 9.224, approximately 0.4 miles from the end of state maintenance at the Menifee County line. It will be reopened to traffic this weekend, but daytime closures are necessary next week for the repairs to be completed.
Drivers will need to find an alternate route between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, June 13-17, as the contractor crew finishes the repair work.
No signed detour will be posted, but drivers can use Forest Service Route 23, KY 77, and KY 11/KY 15 through Menifee County as an alternate route. This route involves the Nada Tunnel and is not suited for larger vehicles. Drivers of oversize vehicles too large to use the tunnel will need to find a different detour route.
Fewer than 50 vehicles use this section of highway each day.

Break repair in eastbound slow lane begins Monday, June 13
