Sadieville Honors...

Friday, October 26th we attended the breakfast meeting of Bluegrass Tomorrow held at the Hyatt Regency in Lexington, Kentucky. This was the annual meeting where Bluegrass Tomorrow presents their Vision Awards in five different catagories. Sadieville received the 2012 Vision Award in the catagory of Conservation Corridors. The purpose is to recognize Sadieville in their efforts to extend the Legacy Trail north in cooperation with the Kentucky Horse Park, Scott & Fayette Counties, and the cities of Lexington, Georgetown and into northern Scott County with Sadieville being a 'trail head'.

Receiving the award in the center are Cindy Foster, Sadieville City Clerk, and Claude Christensen, Mayor of Sadieville (and my hubby).

This picture includes Roy Cornett owner of the Eagle Creek Horse Motel in Hwy. 25 in Sadieville and the one with the initial drive and determination to have the trail come all the way to Sadieville. He has organized the meetings and gotten the grass roots effort going and maintaining that effort. He has actually built trails in other cities in Kentucky and is also the president of a 'trails' organization. We are grateful to him for all he has done.

It was and is a great honor to have our little city of 303 people honored in such a way. We appreciate Bluegrass Tomorrow for recognizing the hard work that has happened during the last year.

On a side note, Sadieville has received a large grant to install a waterless toilet at the tail head in Sadieville. We just keep having sewer action in our little 'ville'.
