I had an announcement in my last week’s article about the Kid’s Fishing Derby at Sportsman Lake last Saturday.
Unfortunately the article got cut and never made it to print. Not sure why, but sometimes it happens!
Anyway, we had a good turnout and the kids all enjoyed themselves. Thanks go out to everyone who helped, especially the Mid-KY Bass Anglers and the Washington County High School Bass Club.
A special thanks to Jason Spalding for organizing this years’ event.

A little more than 30 years ago, Kentucky was facing a difficult problem: Too many of our brightest students were looking elsewhere after graduating high school.
Education leaders decided that something needed to be done to counteract that trend, so in the summer of 1983, on the campus of Centre College, they debuted the Governor’s Scholars Program, which gave 230 high school students from across the state an opportunity unlike anything they could have experienced at home.
