Kentucky Night
The first ever Kentucky Night was held last weekend. There was around 60 cadets in attendance to enjoy the festivities. The state of Kentucky has 45 cadets attending USAFA. The theme for the night was “Derby” of course. The planning for this event started way back in October when their new President Tracy Shah took over. After seeing so many State nights at USAFA on WebGuy they decided to host their own evening. They had a wonderful committee of 10 people coming together to raise funds, find donations and came out to volunteer.
They catered local favorite Broken Bones BBQ with all the fixings. Carol’s Creative Cakes donated cupcakes along with cookies donated by a KY baker. To go along with the baked goods Baskin Robbins donated ice cream.
They had numerous Kentucky based businesses that gave gifts that were manufactured or produced in Kentucky. Some were Ale 8 soda, duct tape, Kentucky coffee cups, post it notes, Kentucky beef sticks, chap sticks produced by soybean growers of Kentucky and soaps made from goat milk - yes goat milk!!
