Sadieville...

We keep working with our little city of Sadieville. 

One of the things Claude noticed was a possibility of creating and prompting bicycle driving routes between Sadieville and Stamping Ground. Papa and I drove and laid out some we liked. I gave them to Claude and he added a bit more on the Sadieville end. These were given to some bicycle clubs to test to see if they would work. It was agreed they would. Claude and then took the routes to Stamping Ground's city meeting to show them to them and get their input. This was on August 8th. They all agreed this was a great idea. We decided we should do a big event to dedicate this trails and promote them. Since Friends of Sadieville already had the date of Saturday, October 14th for its Chili Cook-off, we agreed to use that date. Stamping Ground plans to do an ice cream social and bikers can go between the two locations. 

I spent Friday, August 11th in the morning weeding the flower bed in front of City Hall. More weeding would need to be done but people were coming through on Saturday and we wanted that particular spot to look great.

Saturday, August 12th, the Georgetown/Scott County Tourism was hold a GeoTrot Trail in Scott County. I did not know this was a big deal in today's world. Works with your GPS system. You register in the morning and are given a list of place to find using your GPS and a passport. Each location has a box in it with things to stamp your passport to prove you participated by visiting that spot. Those who finish are given a prize of some kind. Two spots were chosen in Sadieville: the caboose and the Rosenwald School. The Friends of Sadieville offered to made the Rosenwald School so the door could be open and people participating in the GeoTrot could come in and visit this historic building. Three of us did 2 hours shifts. I took the third one because I had an Institute Inservice meeting in the morning in Lexington. When I arrived at the Rosenwald School at 1pm, Char and her hubby were there. They had lots of people come through and visit the school. Mike also had lots of people come through in the first shift. They all reported back to Tourism how much they enjoyed visiting the Rosenwald School. 

Saturday, August 19th, we held our final Citywide Clean-up Day. I do have one more flower bed I would like to do at Veteran's Park before winter sets in but that will have to wait for another day.
