No set up fees; few restrictions. Concessions on the grounds. Animals. Tools. Equipment. And more eligible to trade or sell
Click on headline for story plus photo(s)

By Ed Waggener

The event will honor one of South Central Kentucky's most beloved livestock traders, Harold Mouser. "He was as good a friend as many of us ever had," Vernon Mast, the organizer of the event said. "I've wanted to do this a long time. I just wish I could have done it when he could have been here."

Saturday school attendance covered a wide range

Attendance for the Saturday make up day on May 22, 2010, ranged from surprisingly good for Adair Intermediate School at 90.03%, to a very disappointing 60.07% for Adair County High School.

Here's how it looked at all five schools in the Adair County School District:
  1. John Adair Intermediate School, 90.03%
  2. Colonel Wm. Casey Elementary School, 84.67%
  3. Adair County Middle School, 75.96%
  4. Adair County Elementary, 75.13%
    DISTRICT, 74.31%
  5. Adair County High School, 60.07%
However, Assistant Supt. Brenda Mann said, "Saturday will be one of the five low attendance days that our District is allowed to drop from the yearly attendance funding," so the date will not create a funding issue.

This special pricing is valid for all 2010 Global Concept Aero models, and only available to stock on hand. Supplies are limited, so order today to give your customers what they want this season!
