The Dragonfly's been getting some press, and we know Mom wants to hear the stories!
1. Last week, at Paris Landing, we had a visit from Jacque Day, public radio reporter for WKMS-FM in Murray, Kentucky. We took her for a quick--ahem, I mean, a slow spin in the boat, and she filed this story.
2. Earlier this week, we scored a rental car and zoomed north, ironically burning fuel to attend a meeting on "Food, Fuel, and Society" in Columbia, Missouri. At the meeting, ag journalist Pam Fretwell recorded an interview with the crew for the radio show, "Living a Better Life."
3. Our hometown paper, the Centre Daily Times, is following the trip; the crew's filing monthly stories. Here's the latest installment.
4. In other news, the Duchess of Cornwall piloted the Dragonfly this week. Really! Check out this story!
