Pickett's Chapel Car Wash, Cookout closes at 4:45pmCT

The successful Pickett's Chapel United Methodist Church Youth Car Wash, Cookout and Corn Toss is over at 4:35pmCT, Lindsey Young announced.

The fundraiser had been originally scheduled to continue to 6pmCT, but, Lindsey Young, one of the events organizers, said, "The kids are really tired from all the cars they washed and it's so hot, we decided to shut down just a little early."

The proceeds from the event are still being tallied, but appear to be over $750, with promises likely to raise the figure to even more.

The kids still need a few hundred dollars to pay for the trip to New Song Festival at Camp Loucon, Young said, but she expects other late donations to make up the difference.

"You know," she added, "the idea that a child shall lead really has meaning in this community. The grown-ups in our church never cease to be surprised at just how much they can inspire. They are energetic. They show leadership in the community. They help keep the roads clean. But most important," she said, "is that they add so much to the spiritual side of Pickett's Chapel. They all can pray so beautifully, and put thoughts into words in such different and better ways."

"We're thankful for them. And we are thankful to all who supported the kids today," she said.

Those who weren't able to get to the car wash and would like to help can do so by calling Lindsey Young at (270) 378-1278.

Attention to detail: Samantha Shepherd, left moved in close to remove a last bug spot from the hood after the car wash was vitually complete. Looking on, assisting, and giving advice were Natalie Darnell, Katie Spoon, and Dusty Chambelain. The money raised from the event will almost complete the kitty needed to finance an annual trip to the New Song Festival at Camp Loucon, Leitchfield, KY.
