Supreme Governor Ronald Sweetman (left) joined with Kentucky Moose Association President Tim Cavanaugh to cut the ribbon Saturday morning, Oct. 8, on the newly refurbished Kentucky Home, with the happy young men whose home it is, looking on.


Visitors from the Kentucky Moose Association, which raised $188,000 of the total $300,000 renovation project on the 85-year-old structure, toured the home before ribbon-cutting. It marked the 28th Mooseheart home either built new or fully rehabbed since 1991.
