FRANKFORT,KY— On June 7-8, 2022 the Funeral Directors Association of Kentucky (FDAK) held its 140th Annual State Convention at the Kentucky Expo Center and the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Louisville, KY with FDAK president Grant Bolt of the Johnson’s Funeral Home in Georgetown, KY presiding. The convention theme was Kentucky Proud, mimicking the state’s push for pride in Kentucky and for participating in Kentucky businesses and using Kentucky products and services. This year’s convention was a huge success with funeral directors from six different states attending. On Tuesday afternoon, president Grant Bolt and his wife Pam cut the ribbon on the Kentucky Proud Exhibits to officially open the trade show. The annual President’s Party was a sold-out event with a Kentucky Proud Buffet, a huge Fresh Seafood Buffet along with drinks provided by the Kentucky Funeral Supply Sales Club. Kentucky’s own and nationally renowned comedian Etta May performed after dinner with her down-home Kentucky humor. FDAK board members donated Kentucky themed gift baskets that were given away as door-prizes during the festivities. Standing room only was the theme for this year’s continuing education portion of the convention with internationally acclaimed speakers: Nancy Weil presented All Stressed Out & Ready to Blow and Community Outreach-Building Connections to Your Business, which was sponsored by OGR; Carrie Harris presented Book Smart: An In-Depth Look at PRE-Embalming Analysis; and Daniel Hug of Ring Ring Marketing presented Online Reviews: How to Get Good Ones & Fix Bad Ones and Turning Clicks into Dollars.
