Rotarian Shane Todd presents program at Rotary Club
Rotarian Shane Todd presented the program at Tuesday’s Rotary Club meeting at Richards Farm, updating Rotarians on the schedule of events for Casey’s 37th Annual Popcorn Festival over Labor Day weekend. He is pictured with the Calendar, which can be found posted throughout the Casey community as well as on Facebook. Todd was also featured on WCIA this past week. Top-notch entertainment has been secured for this year’s festival along with 23 or 24 food stands, several of which are new to this year’s event. For the first time this year, a DJ with music will be in the Beer Tent when the bands aren’t playing. Popcorn Festival Committee members who have worked hard to present another successful Festival are Todd, Chalin Maulding, Kristy Duniphan, Jen Baysinger, Jeremy Mumford, and Jen Reddicks.
