Last month, Judge Executive Jack Whitfield shared on social media that the Kentucky County Judge Executive Association selected Hopkins County to receive a $1,000 donation for a local nonprofit. He invited all Hopkins County 501c(3) nonprofits to submit a business card to his office for a chance to receive the funds.
At Tuesday’s meeting, Whitfield had County Attorney Lee Riddle draw a business card from a bucket, awarding the $1,000 to Pennyroyal Master Gardeners.
