Northeast Area Council Awards and Legislative Appreciation Dinner
July 12, 1999
The Elliott County
Extension invited us
to join them at the council
awards dinner at Yatesville Lake State Park near Louisa, KY.
There
were 10 counties attending the dinner. We have helped out at
a
few
Extension functions during the school year. The guest speaker
was
our State Representative Rocky Adkins. Carole and Delmaine
Dickerson
received the appreciation award from our Elliott
County.
One
of the fun things was a raffle with prizes donated by local
artists.
Elliott County's prize was a carving of a humming bird done by Leslie
Stapleton.
We met Leslie while camping at Grayson Lake before we had property in
KY.
Leslie works at the park and lives in Elliott county. The
year we
meet Leslie was the year Hillary Clinton commissioned a carved bird
from
Leslie for the White House Christmas tree. We didn't win any
raffles.
Others who attended the dinner from Elliott County were Gwenda Adkins,
Extension agent, Walter Kitchen and Rocky Adkins. The food
was
good,
the people were entertaining and the pontoon boat ride on the lake was
great.
