The June meeting will be this Thursday, June 14 at 6:30 p.m. at Salerno’s on Jefferson Street in Lexington. The raffle must be finalized at this meeting so that tickets can be printed. We hope to have a gun to raffle off along with a P. Buckley Moss print, a Linda Patrick print and some cash and other prizes.

We plan to sell tickets at the county fair in July and the Community Festival in August. We are also planning the Redneck Olympics and a meal for the livestock exhibitors at the fair as well as the Kid’s Pedal Pull.
