This year's Ag Breakfast Chairman Ken Carrington put together another great morning. The highlight for the large crowd in the community building at the fairgrounds was the selection of Ron and Jane Alcorn as the Farm Family of the Year. Other winners included Melvin Nicholson as the Friend of the Farmer winner, Ken Torr with his Eagle picture winning the photo contest, and the Gottschalk family having the 1st farm animal born in 2010. As Mayor of Greencastle, Sue Murray welcomed everyone to the breakfast and displayed her champion ribbon from last year's fair Rooster crowing contest. Jay Alcorn, Beth Legan, and Beth's fiancee were keynote speakers discussing their reasons for coming back to the farm after getting their college degrees.
Tomorrow, Wed. March 17 will be the Kiwanis/Rotary Luncheon and 4th Grade Ag Education tours. Thursday will wrap up the festivities with the Mini Farm Fest with something for everyone. Many new displays and activities are being planned.
