The dedication of the Elisha Green statue was held on Fourth Street Saturday, August 8, 2026.
Two prominent Presbyterians, A.M. January and Lewis Collins were among a group of about a dozen Maysvillians who donated money to help Rev. Green buy his freedom from slavery prior to the Civil War.
Rev. Green went on to found the Bethel Baptist Church in Maysville and was a noted leader of the Baptist faith and the post Civil War period.
First Presbyterian donated money for the statue project and individual church members donated also.
The memorial is located on the site if the original Bethel Baptist Church which burned in the 1980s.



Speck would like to thank all his loyal fans for their support in the 2026 Wiener Dog Race. He did run this year, unfortunately, just not in his lane. However, he was still a winner, as over $400 was "bet" on him. This will pay for 8 spay/neuter vouchers through the Humane Society of Buffalo Trace's Spay Neuter Assistance Program. Thanks so much! Team Speck is happy to report that he is currently in training for the 2027 competition, so stay tuned for updates!

In memory of Pastor Jim
The Mission and Outreach Committee recently went "hog wild" at the Boys and Girls Club. Everyone enjoyed hearing Pigs, by Robert Munsch. Judy Chumbler led an operatic version of "The Pigs in the Mud Go Oink, Oink, Oink", and participants enthusiastically joined in a sing-along of other pig-themed songs. Jennifer Smith facilitated the creation of some very fancy paper bag pig puppets, while Dave Harnish led a lively game of Pig in the gym. The kids were also treated to a yummy pink pig cookie. More books were added to the shelf placed in memory of Pastor Jim, a staunch supporter of education in Mason County.
