This week you have the chance to adopt a “living legend.”

The U.S. Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will offer about 40 wild horses to potential adopters on Friday and Saturday, February 22 and 23, at the Flickerwood Arena, 3027 Larch Lane in Jackson, MO.

The Saturday adoption will be on a first-come, first-served basis and will be held from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.  The adoption fee is $125 for animals less than 3 years of age and $25 for older animals.  Buddy animals can be adopted for $25.

Southeast Missouri police officers are doing their part to help local athletes compete in the Special Olympics.

And you can help, too.

On Monday, March 4, officers from across the area will take part in the first-ever Sikeston DPS Tip-A-Cop for Special Olympics.

From 4 until 10 that night officers will be waiting tables at the Pizza Inn, located at 1905 E. Malone in Sikeston.  All the tips they receive will go to the Special Olympics of Missouri.  Pizza Inn will also make a donation from all the sales made that evening.

On Region 8 News at 10 Wednesday night we reported on a man who caught a three pound goldfish.

But that was in Michigan.

Check out what one Craighead County angler caught in a pond between Bay and Jonesboro.

Jennifer Novalick sent in this photo of a fish her neighbor, Colton Jones of Bay, reeled in this past summer.

Now that’s a big fish!
