Huge turnout, great fun at Madison County SpringFest

Silas House


Almost 100 KFTC members and friends turned out on a rainy Saturday for the Madison County SpringFest. 


The event start off with a reading of the brand new book "Something's Rising:  Applachians Fighting Mountaintop Removal"  from authors Silas House and Jason Howard. 


Folks also enjoyed a delicious potluck dinner that featured locally raised meat and music from loved local band Mudpi. 


A friendly Derby pool and silent auction helped raise fun – and funds -- for KFTC.



"I enjoy having the chance to socialize with members and prospective members in a party atmosphere where there is a minimum of business to discuss.  I think that kind of outreach is as important as all the tabling, phone banking and chapter and committee meetings that we members do throughout the year."  -- Toby Wilcher, Berea.


The event was a great celebration of the strength and work of the nearly 500-member strong Madison County chapter.  Thanks to all who volunteered and helped make the event a success!
