Earlier this week 13 members of our 2026-2027 officer team met for the annual officer retreat.
The day started by going through the expectations, duties, responsibilities and dates for the upcoming year. We were then joined by Mr. Josh Smith, a district manager for W.D. Bryant, to discuss the importance of being an employable person.
Next, we departed from school and visited the Laurel County Extension Officer where County Director Steve Mobley talked about the opportunities provided by the Extension program.
We then headed just up the road to the London-Laurel County Farmer’s Market and learned about how that program works and the local impact from Market President, Fred King.
After a great lunch from Sauced, we traveled to Wildcat Mountain Cheese for a tour of the only dairy farm in Laurel County and their unique business model from Mrs. Clara Patton.
Finally, we ended the day by getting to tour the farm from where so much of the fresh produce at Cornett Farm Fresh comes from. Katie Cornett provided an in-depth and behind the scenes look of the business that plays a large role in making Laurel County the number one county for produce in the state of Kentucky.
Again, a huge thanks to all that made for such a great experience!
