🕊️🎯 Attention, Bardstown! As dove season takes flight, we have a little favor to ask—please aim wisely! Every year, our team at Bardstown Connect has to chase down outages caused by well-meaning hunters. When shotgun pellets hit power lines or equipment, it can cause cracks or breaks that knock out power. It takes us hours to track down and fix these sneaky issues. Let's keep the doves in the sky and the lights on at home! ⚡🔧 Happy hunting, and thanks for helping us keep Bardstown connected!
