Successful Evening

Successful evening at the Poke Sallet Festival. Sheriff Chris Brewer and Sergeant Charles Bailey spoke with several individuals and gained valuable information on possible drug trafficking. Many teenagers participated with the fatal vision goggles learning the dangers of driving while impaired and with the help from Deputies Josh Lewis, Justin Farley and Sergeant Charles Bailey, we were able to raise $500 for the KY Sheriff's Boys and Girls Ranch. The Sheriff's favorite Deputy Sjors also stopped by the booth. Thank you Harlan County.
