🪜 Stairway spotlight

Fayette County • June 10, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Fayette County. The phrase "stairway to heaven" has taken on literal meaning at Washington Cemetery, where local resident "Butch D." has generously constructed a monument representing the "stairs to Calvary" at the cemetery's second entrance. This labor of love, built with bricks, mortar, and countless hours of dedication, stands as a touching tribute to our community's spirit of giving—proving that meaningful contributions come in many forms.

Meanwhile, health and education shine brightly across the county. The Community Health Fair transformed Grace Community Church into a hub of wellness resources, complete with ambulances to explore and free health screenings. And at Sabina Elementary, academic stars are getting well-deserved recognition as over 130 students earned spots on the honor roll and principal's list for the fourth quarter—celebrating young minds who've finished the school year on a high note.
