  • Free showing of Twilight at library Thursday night

    The Shelby County Public Library will have a free showing of the hit movie Twilight on Thursday at 5 p.m.

     Attention Shelbyville -- A musical revolution is about to begin.

      "We are the Mitchell Toll Band," Brent Mathis stamped as he spoke his message proudly, as if he were in front of hundreds of adoring fans instead of on the phone with a small-town reporter.
