Tomorrow the Frankfort and Franklin County community will come together to honor the life of Franklin County Firefighter Kolby Tucker.

The celebration of life will include a large procession of fire and EMS vehicles in Kolby's honor, beginning from Capital City Christian Church, traveling from Versailles Road to KY676/East West Connector, to Martin Luther King Blvd, turning onto East Main, ending at the Frankfort Cemetery. Please be aware of traffic impacts beginning approximately 11:30 AM Tuesday, September 1 and lasting until the procession concludes in these areas. A map of the route is below.

During this time, traffic will be blocked from E Main Street to allow entrance to the cemetery.

The intersection at E Main and MLK Blvd will be blocked during the procession, please use an alternate route.
