 The LaRue County Conservation District would like to thank everyone who worked to make this year’s annual awards dinner so successful.

Connie Smith with the LaRue County 4-H Cooking Club and its members once again prepared a wonderful meal that was enjoyed by all. We appreciate LaRue County Extension Service for letting us have the use of their facilities, and their staff for being so pleasant to work with. 

 The LaRue County Extension Service and Council members thank everyone for making the 2013 Extension Expo a great success. We thank all of our booth participants and everyone who came out to Expo this year. We especially appreciate the LaRue County Board of Education for allowing us use of the gym school facilities each year and thank Jailer Johnny Cottrill for allowing his staff and inmates to help us with set up and take down of the event. We appreciate all the community support and interest in this event each year.

A lady from another tour group casually walking by heard the conversation and said, “Oh, really. What part of Kentucky?”
