DYNASTY SHREDDED-- Duck Dynasty tickets sit in the shredder because of the recent cancellation of their visit to Graves County High School.
Duck Dynasty visit canceled
Jillian Winn Staff Reporter
Students, parents, and many others were anticipating the arrival of stars of the popular TV show, Duck Dynasty last Saturday. Unfortunately, the appearance was cancelled due to Robertson, his wife, Korie and their children, John Luke and Sadie were planned to appear at the event. Duck Dynasty is a reality show that airs every Wednesday on A&E. It shows the Robertson family, who became wealthy from their family-run business, with the well-known Duck Commander call. The Robertson family, including brothers Phil and Si, and Phil’s sons Jase, Willie, and Jep are all known for their long beards and humor. This TV show has kept people laughing across Western Kentucky and other parts of the country. The cast had a show out of about 4,000 people earlier in April of this year. During this event Jase Roberston and his wife, Missy, gave a message about faith and family. Also,
possibly the most talked about character, Si made an appearance. Afterward, the people in the audience got a chance to meet them and get a picture with them. The show has had a great school and community as you can see by all the Duck Dynasty t-shirts, the amount of people who showed up at the last Duck Dynasty appearance, and even a Duck Dynasty day for spirit week. During this day of spirit week, some students who dressed up as the show’s TV stars were awarded tickets to the event. Even though there was much talk about the event, they surprisingly did not make enough sales. If you bought a ticket, you can return it to

World School Milk Day (WSMD) is celebrated annually by over 40 countries on the last Wednesday of September, with this year being the 14th annual event. The Food and Agriculture Organization’s goal is to provide a particular day when attention is focused on school milk and to have all countries celebrating on the same day. (www.southeastdairy.org) Graves County High School cafeteria workers participated in the celebration, handing out WSMD and milk mustache stickers, along with a pencil with ‘World School Milk Day’ printed on it.
