CAF annual meeting June 8, hosts Henry Clay

Fohs Hall Community Arts Foundation will host its annual dinner at 6 p.m. June 8 at Fohs Hall, with after-dinner entertainment provided by George McGee portraying famous Kentucky politician Henry Clay.

Above all, Clay wanted to be President of the United States. Despite never quite making it—he ran and lost three times between 1824 and 1844—Clay played a large role in the history of his country, which he served as a senator, speaker of the house and secretary of state. For more than 40 years he was a major player on the national political scene, renowned for his oratory and devotion to the Union. The performance is presented in part by a grant from the Kentucky Humanities Council.

Reservations for the $10 dinner can be made by calling 965-5983.
