From left, Lawrenceburg residents Emma Grace Van Hook, CoraBeth Collins and Rebekah Fugate pose for a photo with ‘The Turtle Man’ following his recent performance in the town of Van Lear. The girls traveled to the eastern Kentucky town made famous by country singer Loretta Lynn in her song ‘Cole Miner’s Daughter,’ to see ‘The Turtle Man,’ who has risen to fame for his handling of turtles and recent appearance on Animal Planet. The girls traveled with Lawrenceburg resident Jason Collins, who said he is from Van Lear.
