If You Cater it, They Will Come
I attended the ground breaking ceremony for the Uniontown to Brownsville section of the Mon-Fayette Expressway today. I have already updated the PA Turnpike 43 Exit Guide and MFE/SB Progress Map. Pictures of the ceremony are on the PA Turnpike 43 page.
This was the first ground breaking I have attended. It was pretty much what I expected with local and state officials there to give speeches on how each helped to create the Mon-Fayette Expressway. Then there was the ceremonial first spade toss of dirt to signal the start of construction followed by a catered lunch for all who attended which included stromboli, hot wings, BBQ wings, vegetables, cake, and cookies. I gave it four out of five stars.
One of the speakers was Senator J. Barry Stout, who is one of many state officials who spearheaded the project. He also happens to be the Chairman of the State Transportation Committee. After the ceremony I introduced myself and asked if I could interview him. He gave me his business card and told me to call his office sometime.
