Coffeys and grandson attend Farm Machinery Show 2020-02-17 - Louisville, KY - Photo by Jackie Coffey. Adair County Magistrate Billy Dean Coffey and Grandson Kayden Dobson are pictured at the National Farm Machinery Show at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville Saturday.

Jerry Garmon, a recruiter from Edmonton, Metcalfe County, is looking for people who want jobs as 2020 Census takers in Adair County.

He asked the Chamber of Commerce audience to help spread the word and make sure all jobs are filled so that every citizen can be counted in the upcoming census.

You can find his contact information at the Chamber of Commerce, 270-384-6020. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
