"It is always a privilege to give," Mr. Reliford states. He further added, "it is a wonderful thing our high school is doing with these learning service projects as students are learning to give back to others." Other service learning projects high school students are doing include visiting the nursing home, daycares and animal shelter, working in landscaping, and collecting food and much needed items for various organizations and charities.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Delightful Costa Rican in Somerset, KY 2017-11-15 - Pura Vida, 3499 S Hwy 27 Somerset, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Looking to see what happened to a recent Indian Restaurant in the same location, we found the very delightful Pura Vida, restaurant in Somerset, KY. The plate above was more than ample for two seniors, and a bargain at $15.49. Above, the restaurant's "Tour Por Costa Rica: A grand tour of various traditional dishes. Served with rice, steak fajitas, grilled chicken, salchichn, chimi-churi, sweet potatoes, Picadillo, black beans, and home made tortillas." The menu didn't mention the sausage, but it was there. Excellent. - EW & LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
