This cool dude is 4-year-old Simon Vaughn. He celebrated the 70th Nolin RECC annual meeting at John Hardin High School with his parents, Mike and Cindy Vaughn of Elizabethtown, and his six siblings.

Rain may have kept the inflatables deflated at the Nolin RECC annual meeting, but it didn’t keep co-op members and friends from attending the event on June 13, at John Hardin High School. Another record was set after 1,461 co-op members registered during the evening. It’s estimated that more than 4,000 people attended the meeting.

This year’s meeting was full of special anniversaries—it marked the 70th membership meeting for Nolin and the 10th anniversary of Touchstone Energy. The meeting was also a special date for former Nolin director Bob Wade and his wife, Ella Mae. The couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary the following day.

The business session of the meeting included the important announcement of Nolin director elections. Two board members were re-elected o the board: David P. Brown of Hodgenville and A. L. “Buddy” Rosenberger of Rineyville.

The main gym at John Hardin High School was nearly packed with family, friends, and neighbors as they gathered to hear the evening’s featured entertainment, Mike Snider and his string band. And earlier in the evening, Rick Arnold sang as he airbrushed pictures. Both artists lifted the spirits of everyone in the crowd.

Children and adults were presented with free portraits by artist Denny Whalen and his assistant. Prizes galore, food, and even a health fair awaited several thousand who turned out for the Nolin RECC annual meeting.

Thanks to everyone who attended the meeting. And for those who did not attend, make plans to join us next year!
