In addition, each sheriff received $800.00 to donate to a charity from their community. Adair County Sheriff Josh Brockman presented his $800.00 check to Leann Jessie of JOY Ministries (can be seen in the bottom pic below) to be used however the organization sees best to benefit our community.
Sheriff Brockman said “There are so many great charities in Adair County; we are truly a blessed county. The residents in Adair have always been generous in giving and JOY Ministries has been so helpful to our community. Many of the things they do go unnoticed, but for law enforcement officers and other emergency workers, we see first-hand the things they do, especially helping us with situations when families need help. We look forward to next years ride and pray that it continues to grow", said Brockman.
