Workers' Party – Tuesday November 15th

The mid-week workers party was held Tuesday, November 15, 2022 at 6:00 pm at the
Walker Hall Event Center in Paducah, KY. It was a great evening and was well-attended. The drinks flowed as did the conversation and we enjoyed catching up with colleagues and friends. NRC President Mitch Patterson honored Dennis Bath by introducing him to those gathered and it was truly a special moment. Dinner was fried catfish and chicken picanté with some special mashed potatoes, beans and pork and glazed carrots all topped off with an apple cobbler. 

After dinner, tickets were drawn for door prizes and everyone got a memento to take away. Chairman Mark Medford proceeded to draw for the "special raffle" prizes. Those lucky individuals chose from two Garmin collars, a grill, waders and shotgun.
