After celebrating their graduation last Thursday evening, the Chamber Leadership Group enjoyed a well-deserved day of fun and fellowship on Friday! They started off making candles with Soy Wicked KY, followed by a trip bowling. They took a break to eat pizza at Snappy Tomato and then finished the day at Fulgham Park's pickleball courts.
