Trick or Treat on Lincoln Square and Costume Contest – Oct. 31st

Trick or Treat pic2013OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

It’s time for the Chamber’s Annual Trick-or-Treat on Lincoln Square and Halloween Costume Contest.

Trick-or-Treat on Lincoln Square provides the community with a safe place to bring children on Halloween.  The City of Hodgenville will be blocking off streets around the square to give the children safe and easy access to all stops.  Volunteers from LaRue County High School are on hand to help escort our children around.  Trick-or-Treat time is set for 6:00pm-8:00pm on Thursday, October 31st.  Set up for tour stops will be 5:00pm-6:00pm.

Do you have kids?  Bring them to our Costume Contest starting promptly at 5:30pm!  Registration starts at 5:00pm.  This year we have added a Family/Themed Group Category!  See the attached application for categories, pre-registration and late application fee deadlines.  Applications with payment can be dropped off at the Chamber office and the LaRue County Herald News.  Special thanks to The Awards Center in Elizabethtown for sponsoring our awards for our winners.

What’s new this year?  First Baptist Church will be adding an inflatable bounce house, inflatable obstacle course for kids, cornhole and several carnival style games.

FOOD!!!  Adams Family Foods and Makin Memories will be joining us this year as food vendors.

State Fair a Success!

Jim Sayre - Lincoln at the fair

The State Fair is over and wow! What a fun time! This annual event gives us the perfect opportunity to showcase to fellow Kentuckians and other visitors the importance of Hodgenville/LaRue County.  Where else can you visit two national parks (Lincoln’s Birthplace and Boyhood Home), and Kentucky’s Official Lincoln Museum? Only here!  

Our booth at the Pride of the Counties was a huge success and it would not have happened without the help of many hands!  Thank you to the LaRue County Leadership Class 2012-2013 for taking this project of revamping our booth display.  This class included Kelly Clemens, Rip Collins, Angel French, Sarah Graham, Gina Lewis, Beth Roberts, John Schuler, and Melanie Wells.  Thank you to County Judge Executive Tommy Turner and Magistrates Tony Stewart, Ricky Whitlock, Dale Nunn, and W.L. Miller for helping us fund this endeavor and Bob Sims for your direction and advisement.  Thankful for the creative minds of Kenny Rambo and his team at Heartland Communications and Scott Goldberg at Progressive Services Printing for our fabulous three banner display and the amazing photos captured by Melanie Wells at Melanie Wells Photography.  Thank you to Clifford and Ruby Perkins for being our models at the Lincoln Statue, Alyssa Levee and Alex Morgan for being our models at the Boy Lincoln Statue, the craftsmanship of Bobby Akers for the miniature Lincoln cabin which little kids adored, the patriotic flower arrangement from First Baptist Church, and the Presidential Chair from Rooney Gray at MAM Candy.  Thanks to Josh Singer and Blazin Xpressions for their work on the tablecloth and shirt design for our volunteers which coordinated perfect with our display.
