I has been brought to our
attention that your news page printed that Christian
Elliott has been accused of taking money from the Clay
County Golden Delicious Festival. Ms. Elliott has never
served as a board member nor has she ever had access to
any festival funds. Ms. Elliott did serve as parade

during those years we did not charge a fee to participate
in the parade. We just wanted to clarify this. If you have
any questions, feel free to reach out to me.
