Former Patrick Mahomes’ teammate, Alex Smith, didn’t hold back on the Chiefs’ performance at the Super Bowl 👀

“Patrick didn’t have any help out there. He was out there by himself. I love him taking accountability but they have to address some things this offseason.” 🗣

What a great day this was!  Thanks to all those individuals, organizations, and businesses that made this possible!!!!!

We are approaching a key milestone in this project! Phase I of the cemetery restoration will be completed in March/April ! This includes cleaning, fencing, and signs honoring all who are buried at this location. An entryway and paved area with a trail through the area will also be available. We are asking for your support. We need $1500 more to complete the project. Please help! Donations can be given to Jake Shewey, Preston Evans, Mike Guinn, or Val MacInnis. We also have an account at Truist in Lexington called Friends of Greenwood Cemetery. Anything you could give would be appreciated!
