This year's keynote speaker is Jason Koger, a 33 year old father of three from Owensboro who on March 1, 2008, struck a fallen live power line while riding his atv on his family farm and suffered near fatal injuries. To save his life, doctors had to amputate both his arms. Jason has since taken on the mission to share his life story in the hope to be a source of encouragement to others. He works alongside his Father in the family construction business, enjoys time with family and friends, spending time in the woods hunting, or in his garage working on cars. He has been featured in USA today in the article “App lets amputees program their bionic hands” as well as appeared in newspapers, TV news reports and nationally on CNN.

“All are welcome to join us on November 29. Folks begin arriving at 6 pm to enjoy coffee and cider and dinner is served at 6:30 pm,” said Clemmons.
