JCIDC (Jackson County Industrial Development Corporation) celebrated their 25th anniversary with a gala last night. The event was held at the Pines Evergreen Room, was catered by wonderful friend, Mike Hall (check out his BLOG!), and the food was awesome. One of the dessert items was the Pines famous Florida cake — at least I think that’s what they call it. It’s the yummy stuff with the gooey sauce on top. They could call it anything and I would still say it’s my favorite dessert on the planet.
It was a rockin’ event! The good part is that I got to work with and visit with people I really admire.Scott McKain was the guest speaker who got a standing ovation — yes, he was THAT good. Jim Plump, JCIDC director, was honored — what a tremendous job he’s done for Jackson County, Indiana. JCIDC is also a client of mine, so it was fun to work closely with Jim’s assistant, Mary, in preparation of the event. My buddy, Curt, (check out the Crothersville Times), made the burg proud, being recognized as one of the founding members of this fine organization that has brought businesses to this county — and worked to retain those already established here. The burg was represented by Town Council members, and the Clerk Treasurer, and it was great to see Shaun Kendall, of Klaes Image Productions, who did a fine job on the audio for the event.
