Every year, the Trigg County Country Ham Festival has people behind the scenes making sure things run as effectively and smoothly as possible.
During Thursday morning’s 46th Annual Kickoff Breakfast at the Lexie Bush Convention Center, those such individuals were celebrated and honored — when Cadiz Mayor Todd King presented the Marvin Broadbent Jr. and George Bleidt “Spirit of the Ham Festival” honor to the entire Cadiz Public Works Department.
In front of a packed house, Public Works Director Craig Oakley took time to thank every single member of his staff.
Oakley described his team’s efforts as consistent, effective and ongoing — not just throughout the weekend of the Ham Festival, but throughout the entire year.
City employees will be on hand all weekend for a number of duties, up until the celebration ends late Sunday.
