Volunteers will be out in force next week to summer scrub Kentucky highways. Adopt-a-Highway Summer Scrub Week is June 2-8.

“The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet appreciates the efforts of our Adopt-a-Highway volunteers who help keep our highways and communities beautiful and litter-free,” Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock said.

Nearly 750 groups participate in Kentucky’s Adopt-a-Highway program, which was established in 1988. Volunteers clean approximately 5,100 miles of roadside annually, setting an example of responsible environmental stewardship.

The Adopt-a-Highway program promotes public environmental awareness and supports tourism. The program also creates a partnership between citizens, community and government, and establishes a sense of pride in the Bluegrass State.   

There's still time to enter United Community Bank’s 10th Annual Golf Scramble.  Proceeds will benefit Union County Happy Pack which provides weekend food for needy students. 

Tee it up at the Breckinridge Golf Course on May 24. There's a $50 entry fee.

The tournament had originally been scheduled for May 10 but has been postponed because of the likelihood of rain.

Register at 8 and tee off at 9 a.m.
