Join Kosta and his guest: Wesley Adkins, Principal Auctioneer for Highland Elite Auction, Affiliate Broker and Real Estate Agent at Highlands Elite Real Estate and General Manager of Cookeville Panera Bread. Wesley is a Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce Ambassador, member of the Cookeville Jaycees, regular volunteer for Upper Cumberland Habitat for Humanity and Heart of the Cumberland, and active member of the Putnam County Fair Board.

As most of our listeners know, during the 2023 Cookeville Christmas Parade the only float disqualified from participating in the parade was representing Upper Cumberland Pride. As Wesley is a Chamber Ambassador, and active member of the LGBTQ community he found himself in the middle of this controversy and how we create a pathway forward.
