The Memorial Walls have been placed at Barbour and Son Funeral Home in Tollesboro and Dickerson Funeral Home in Vanceburg.

The 4'x24' walls contain the names of the 3,044 who died in the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, and on Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.

The walls will remain in place until September 11. The one at Dickerson Funeral Home will be located at the fairgrounds for the duration of the fair, according to Funeral Director Jim Estepp.

Balloons will also be released at both locations of the wall and at the fairgrounds. Those wishing to honor a victim may write the name of one of the victims on a balloon before releasing it.

Once again, the event is open to any Lewis County resident who would like to set up to sell garden produce, other agricultural products and crafts (no flea market items), as well as churches, youth groups and other local organizations.

Craftspeople and artisans who are willing to demonstrate their skills are particularly invited to take part.

The 4-H Talent Show will begin at 1:00 p.m. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the entertainment. Winners of the talent show will go on to compete at the 2003 state fair.

The Kentucky Department of Agriculture said Friday that one of the 20 most recently diagnosed horses has died. A horse vaccine exists. Only four of the 20 had been vaccinated for the mosquito-borne disease and the vaccine did not have time to take effect before they contracted the virus, state agriculture officials said.

Two horses in Lewis County were confirmed Wednesday as having West Nile virus. Other cases in area counties include three in Fleming, one in Greenup and one in Mason.

Of the 89 equine cases in Kentucky, 36 horses were euthanized and nine died of natural causes. The remaining 44 are recovering.
