Jim C. Coleman Award
2023 Recipient
Herb Sparks was honored to introduce the 29th Annual Jim C. Coleman Award to a full house at the annual Chamber Christmas Banquet November 27th.
The award went to Clay and Janice Turner, the Turner’s are well known, well respected, and well deserving of the award. If there ever was a Metcalfe County power couple, it is the Turners.
This couple is active in Church, they visit and take food to those who are sick or have lost loved ones. They visit the Nursing Homes and bring a smile to those who are shut in. Clay and Janice give back to their community in so many ways.
Congratulations to Clay and Janice Turner, they are truly deserving recipients!
