InTouch with Southern Kentucky January 2020 | Page 5

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Local businesses and local people make Pulaski County special By Jeff Neal I n Touch with Southern Ken- tucky magazine strives to bring you interesting stories about both people in our community and significant business trends that will affect your lives. For example, Tim Minton explored the home-buying market forecast for 2020 with Rick Barker, who is the owner, along with principal broker and auctioneer, of Godby Realty & Auction (Godby Realty) in Somerset. He predicts a seller’s market by the way. We also will look at some fantastic people who have made this time of the year extra special by volunteer- ing their time to help others who are less fortunate. We will also take a look at the Ford family, who has dedicated their lives to operating Ford Broth- ers, Inc., Auctioneers here in Pulas- ki County. And while businesses like Ford Brothers and Anderson Office Sup- ply are local staples, a new busi- ness, Zilla Meals, will also share the spotlight. In each edition of In Touch, we will bring you stories that impact you — stories about local business- es and local people. We hope you enjoy this issue. Have a wonderful 2020!
