The nightly news magazine Kentucky Edition will feature a special slate of stories from Paducah and Graves County starting Thursday.

The topics will include Paducah’s first decade one of 9 UNESCO Creative Cities; the National Quilt Museum, and a look back at the history of the Fancy Farm Picnic.

The program will host its broadcast from downtown Paducah on Thursday, and from the Fancy Farm grounds on Friday.
