Controversial church plans to protest at funeral for Bardstown fire victims
(BARDSTOWN, Ky.) -- Funeral services for all 10 victims of the Bardstown fire will be held Saturday, February 10th in the gymnasium of Bardstown High School.

City leaders have some advice for residents on how to deal with the demonstrators: ignore them....
