Whitley County Farm Bureau observed National Checkout Day
On Sunday, board members of the Whitley County Farm Bureau Board randomly handed out four Kroger gift certificates worth $ 32.50 each to Farm Bureau members at the local Kroger grocery store. Additionally, they handed out a case worth of Red Gold ketchup to anyone who wanted one. 
According to Farm Bureau member Kevin Ousley, the gesture was done to symbolize two concepts. First, the gift certificates for $32.50 represented the dollar amount of a membership in Farm Bureau. Also, Sunday was National Checkout Day – the day which the average American has earned enough money, to date, to buy their groceries for the entire year.
