The purpose of our annual Farmer’s Appreciation Dinner is to honor our hard working farmers on a successful crop season and harvest! Our farmers make such a large contribution to not only our economy but also our culture, and for that we are truly grateful. Entry tickets purchased include dinner and drinks. Your ticket stub is also put into a drawing for door prizes at the end of the night It is always a great joy to host these farmers every January! With nearly 600 farmers in attendance every year, it is an honor and pleasure to recognize these hard working community members who strive to keep the agricultural industry forever alive!
