Hardy to take vows for third time Saturday
Republican Fayette County Commissioner Joseph A. Hardy III, who celebrated his 84th birthday earlier this year with a lavish party at his own Nemacolin Woodlands Resort and Spa, will wed his third wife this weekend. Jeff Nobers, spokesman for Hardy, confirmed Monday that Hardy is “getting married this weekend.” Although Nobers declined to comment additionally, Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on the Internet, listed Hardy’s fianc?e as Christen Georgi.
According to various local sources, Georgi is in her early 20s and a graduate of Albert Gallatin High School, and has been seen sporting a 10-carat diamond ring and driving a Porsche, both reported gifts from Hardy.
Hardy, the millionaire founder of 84 Lumber who turned Nemacolin Woodlands Resort and Spa into a world-class resort and brought a PGA event to the site for several years, is twice divorced.
The wedding will reportedly take place on Saturday in Las Vegas, less than two weeks before the May 15 municipal primary.
Hardy and Fayette County Commission Chairwoman Angela M. Zimmerlink are the only two candidates seeking the two available GOP nominations.
