I went to the fair again Saturday, and listened to our state representatives talk. I will have a story on that. They talked about the usual stuff. Kasha Kelley talked about finance, Steve Abrams talked about education and Ed Trimmer talked about social issues.
But what was remarkable, was that former State Sen. Grete Goodwin was there. She took the floor and everyone waited with anticipation to see what she would say. She and Kasha have been political enemies since Kasha got involved in politics.
Goodwin surprised everyone by praising Kasha for her work in saving jobs at the Winfield Prison Facility. Goodwin said she has been on a commission that is looking at ways to save the state money, and in the course of that, Kasha has been praised for her efforts.
Kelley was shocked and surprised at the kind words, and thanked Goodwin later.
The second story I am working on involves the Burford Theater. I spent some time with Gene Snell and toured the Burford on Saturday. It is much larger than I thought. Fascinating place. More on that later.
