"The volunteers and workers at the Molasses Festival make a real effort," said West
Fork Community Action President Juanita Berdine. "Bravely they proved in their
striving there is a will and a way," using a famous quotation. The event was the
Annual Molasses Festival Appreciation Dinner held at the community building in
Arnoldsburg yesterday.
Berdine presented special "hardworking awards" to Linda McCartney and Gene
Laughlin, before a group of about 75 people.
Co-chair's for this year's event, Linda McCartney and "Dip" Mace recognized dozens of
volunteers who helped with this years event, one of the better attended in recent
years. "There are some hardworking folks at the Molasses Festival," said
McCartney.
Besides a more than ample dinner, there was a special flag ceremony.
