Thursday night February 7, I went to the Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center for, without a doubt, the biggest show to date for the venue, Jerry Seinfeld.  I’ve watched his show throughout its run, and have been a huge fan ever since.  Seeing Jerry in concert was pretty much a far-fetched dream. 

On Thursday February 7th, the annual Butler County Spelling Bee was held in the Butler County Education and Technology Center. The event was scheduled to begin at 5:30 P.M. The three contestants were 5th grader Mattie McKinney, representing North Butler Elementary, 3rd grader Gracie Cardwell, representing Morgantown Elementary, and Addison Hall, representing Butler County Middle School. The three judges were Rick Scott, Patty Craig, and Georgia Romans. The pronouncer was Mrs. Paula Clark, media specialist at BCHS.

Andrea's Mission For Men is a Christ-centered recovery program that has recently been founded in Butler County. Through witnessing the ongoing success and impact of the women's program, Jimmy Flener, the founder of People Who care Ministries felt a calling to begin a men's facility in Butler County. The Women's program began approximately 2 years ago and has assisted 20 women in the recovery process.

A visitor to Butler County back in 1895 left his mark from here to Rockport Indiana and beyond. He likely had arrived by riverboat since he, apparently, did not own a horse at the time. Enjoy this tale courtesy of some old microfilm.

The Butler County Little League will be having sign ups for the upcoming season.  The dates include:

The Butler County High School NJROTC traveled to Paoli Peaks, Indiana, on January 26, 2013, to enjoy fun in the snow on a skiing trip. The 40 cadets were housed at Crane Naval Weapons Station, IN. On Saturday, after arriving and checking into the barracks, they traveled to the Peaks for skiing and snowboarding. The following day they hit the slopes again for snow tubing before heading back to Butler County that evening. Although the trip included a lengthy bus trip, everyone enjoyed the snow activities and the bonding within the unit. A good time was had by all.
