Much ado about an emu

The county was buzzing Monday afternoon as an unusual PCEMA alert went out via text: An emu (a large ostrich-like bird) is along the road at the intersection of HWY 22W and HWY 1054. If you know of an emu owner in that area, please call Pendleton County Dispatch at 859-654-3300.
