Dart Container Corporation Receives Congressional Tribute

On Monday, May 17, 2010, Congressman Brett Guthrie (R-KY) visited Dart's Horse Cave, Kentucky, manufacturing plant to present the company with a copy of a tribute he introduced into the Congressional Record on May 13. As a representative of Kentucky's Second District, which includes Horse Cave, Congressman Guthrie recognized Dart's value to the commonwealth of Kentucky on the occasion of the company's 50th anniversary.

"The Dart Container Corporation and its Horse Cave facility have a long history of community involvement, including participating in Hart County's Relay for Life and the Horse Cave Heritage Festival," the tribute noted. "Over the years the company has sponsored local sports and school activities, 4-H programs, Clothes for Kids, the YMCA, American Hart Association, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the Hart County Public Library, the Kentucky Repertory Theatre, the American Cave Museum and Hidden River Cave." Congressman Guthrie also observed that "The entire Hart County community is grateful for Dart's continued presence, support, and generosity."
