    It’s a busy time in Cynthiana and Harrison County.
    This weekend is the famed Rod Run, an all-day car show that has put Cynthiana on the classic car map.
    Sept. 23 will be the first Super Saturday with a plethora of activities, including a ping-pong ball drop.
    Yea, just wait and see on that one! It should be a blast.
