In lieu of the usual prayer in the House Chamber, House of Delegates members were treated to a performance by the Nicholas County bluegrass band, Laurel Creek. The band played two songs, “Heavens Jubilee” and “The Twelve”, the latter of which was dedicated to the twelve miners who lost their lives as a result of the Sago Mine tragedy in 2006.
The band were invited as guests of the delegates representing the 29th, 35th, 36th, 39th and 40th delegate districts.
