Sheriff's Notes

Message from Our Sheriff

Greetings Fellow Westerners,

I can’t believe we are heading into March 2026 so quickly. I was very pleased with our
January 8th Corral Meeting. We were so privileged to have Paul Andrew Hutton and
Paul L. Hedren as our guest speakers. I received a lot of positive feedback from those of you
who attended, along with many well appreciated encouraging words of support.

As you know, 2026 is the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of
Independence on July 4, 1776, also known as America’s Semiquincentennial. Take a look at
the America250 website at america250.org. Its mission is to inspire our fellow Americans to
reflect on our past, strengthen our love of country, and renew our commitment to the ideals
of democracy through programs that educate, engage, and unite us as a nation. There will
be many celebrations throughout our country during 2026. The website includes what other
parts of the country are planning for this year.

Past Sheriff Penny and I will be guests on the Mary Ann Suttles KYCA 1490 radio
program on March 20th from 8am to 9am. We’ll be promoting our Corral and our August
Western History Symposium.

We’d like to speed up our check-in procedures and limit the congestion at the entrance of
our Corral meetings. This is most important during cold weather. With this in mind, we will
be encouraging couples to have one of you check-in, while the other reserves your spot at a
table. We also want to encourage those who have checked-in not to mingle in the vicinity of
the check-in tables.

As of this writing, we are still looking for a Corral member to fill our Deputy Sheriff
position. We also encourage everyone who has email and aren’t receiving their Roundups
via email to get on our email list pronto. It’s as easy as checking the box in the lower right
hand corner of your dinner reservation form. You’ll receive the Roundup in a timely fashion
and save us time and money.

I look forward to seeing “all y’all” at our March 5th dinner meeting.

Sheriff Ken
