The Trimble County High School Chapter of the Future Farmers of America recently attended the 85th National FFA Convention.  The convention was held Oct. 24-26 in Indianapolis.

Trimble County students were joined by Carroll and Henry counties as well.  Students saw people from all over the United States, even some from Puerto Rico!  The majority of students concluded that this was the best trip they had ever been on.

The City of Bedford in conjunction with local churches and civic organizations will offer a free Thanksgiving Dinner on Tuesday, Nov. 20, at 6 p.m. The event will be held at the Morgan Community Center in Bedford. Everyone is invited.

“We encourage everyone to bring their family and friends and sit down and enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving dinner,” Bedford Deputy Clerk Rita Davis said. “We ask that if you have a large group to please call and reserve a table so we can seat everyone together.”

Karen Popp of Bedford is one of 78 Eastern Kentucky University juniors, seniors and graduate students who will be inducted into the EKU chapter of The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi during a special ceremony on Nov.  13.

Popp is among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be
initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year.
