If you have ever mailed a letter or a package from the Henderson KY Post Office (42420 or 42419) you probably have been waited on by one of these two ladies.
Today (October 30, 2009) is their last day of work. They are retiring. Sue Miller retires with 30 years of service and Joyce Floyd has 28 years of service to the Post Office.
Many will sure miss their smiling faces at the 42420 Post Office in Henderson KY.
Sue over the years has been such a help to me personally with bulk and non-profit mailings.
Burgoo is tradition in Henderson Kentucky and other parts of Kentucky. When I was in grade school one of the events that would take place every fall would be the annual Fall Burgoo at East Heights School.
The school itself was a rather unique when it opened in the fall of 1974. It was one of the first schools of its kind to have all open classrooms. That over the years has been changed but one thing that has stayed the same is the fall burgoo fundraiser.
The recipe of Homer Taylor has been used for years. I noticed a Garner in the crowd. Is the Homer Taylor recipe been replaced or converted into a Ralph Garner recipe?
The multiple kettles of burgoo are a total sell out. Today I was there at 8 am to learn that I had to wait in line till 10 am to buy my one gallon of burgoo. There were no presales. It would have been nice to be able to pre-purchase.
Today was the first time in several years that I bought some East Heights Burgoo, like I remember from my youth- it is the best!
The burgoo kettles in Henderson County are passed around from organization to organization to use as fund raisers- I do believe that the East Heights School and the Homer Taylor recipe is the best in the community.
Watch the quick video about what burgoo is:
Thank you Stacy P for being a good sport and letting me video you!
Many times I write about Sunday afternoon’s in Grantwood Hills. Grantwood is probably Henderson KY premier subdivision. Since the subdivision is surrounded by three sides of John James Audubon Kentucky Park the deer are plentiful. Just last night we saw a herd of at least 14.
