The 8th annual Quality Cruise-in and Swap Meet was held Saturday, September 9, in Quality, Kentucky.  It was a beautiful Fall day, even though 80 degrees isn’t exactly fall temperature.  There was plenty of food, drink and fellowship.  Throughout the event, attendees picked up ballots and judged the competing cars, trucks, motorcycles and tractors.

The nutrition staff at North Butler Elementary School and Morgantown Elementary School have gone above and beyond to incorporate the yield from the school gardens into the daily lunch meal.  The ladies embraced the garden project and quickly set out to provide the kids with some new vegetable options.
