In June 2021, the Harrodsburg 250th Inc. Board announced Daarik Gray, executive director of the Harrodsburg-Mercer County Tourist Commission, had been elected chairman of the board and Mercer County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jill Cutler was elected vice-chair.

“Over the next three two years there is much work to be done in preparation for the 250th anniversary celebration,” according to Daarik Gray. “We are fortunate to have this group of talented professionals leading the way for our community.”
