Associations of Counties requests that each county provide a work

courthouse or many of our famous landmarks. We are looking for
talented artists to submit works of art "reflecting our county" for
an end of the year art exhibit. The works will be on display at the
courthouse and one purchase award will be given to the artist whom
best showcases what Garrard County has to offer. The winning
artwork will go to the newly built KACO building, where they have
