2015 Stock Show Named In Honor Of Debbie Sharp

by Mike West

This year’s Murray County Junior Livestock Show is dedicated to Debbie Sharp. She is recently retired after a 32-year career with the OSU Extension Office. But retirement is not holding her back. Indeed, she still volunteers with the livestock show and other entities. For example, on Thursday night, Feb 19, Sharp was busy supervising the Key Clubs’ food servers at the Sulphur and Davis chambers banquet. They fed more than 300 guests that night.
