USAWA Nationals update #2
by Clint Poore
A glorious day of strength to you!
This is update #2 for the 2025 USAWA Nationals.
To follow up on the previous update regarding Dale Hollow State Park going through immediate emergency reconstruction at the park, I have polled many of the lifters coming to nationals about where to have the National Meeting.
The two choices I proposed were the SKD Distillery, after the tour or Angie’s Family Restaurant, a locally owned family restaurant that serves southern style country cooking. Before proposing this option to the lifters, Lynne and I went and had dinner at Angie’s Family Restuarant. It met the criteria we need and then I invited the lifters attending nationals to share which option they liked best. In an overwhelming response, the lifters chose Angie’s Family Restaurant by an 80 to 20 percent margin. I think this was conclusive and I will be setting up the 2025 USAWA National Meeting in the side room at Angie’s Family Restaurant for Friday, July 18.
Here is the planned itinerary for Friday, July 18:
– 2:00 – 4:30 pm we have a tour scheduled for Southern Kentucky Distillery
– 5:30 – 8:30 pm we will have the 2025 National Meeting at Angie’s Family Restaurant.
Here are the Facebook links to each location.
