The Heritage Arts, Science and Tourism Center held their 30^th Annual Croquet Tournament on Saturday September 30^th to raise funds for the operation and maintenance of the Historic McConnell House.

We want to thank all our sponsors and volunteers who support us for this event.  Additionally, we want to thank Zenaida Smith from Raceland High School and Sheryl Wellman from the Greenup County School System who provided us with over 50 students to help us stage this event.  What a great group of young people. 

Now for the first time ever a team of students took first place in this event.  The team sponsored by Bob Meenach Insurance Agency with Raceland High School players Parker Gallion and Andy Floyd was presented the coveted Heritage Cup by Tournament Director Terry Fyffe at the Awards Banquet held at the end of play.  They held off a team with past champions of Andy Zabrieszack and Trey Fyffe sponsored by Radio Station WLGC.ASTC>

This was our 30^th year and once again we thank all our sponsors, supporters and especially the hard working members of the Board of Directors of HASTC.
