November 9, 2011 - Won't be long now . . .
Our 40th Anniversary Delegation is packed and ready to travel to Hartford, Alabama EARLY Thursday morning.
Our regular November delegation is already there and have been enjoying a week of touring, sight seeing and visiting since last Saturday, November 5th. Bernie & Aggie Schmitz, Cindy Knutson, April Anderson, Tori Barka, Dakota Bridge, Nicole Carlson and Dairy Princess Amanda Turck are probably at the slightly tired stage right now after visiting the State Capitol, attending the National Peanut Festival, and spending the day at the beach yesterday. Today they tour more businesses and tomorrow they will get a chance to experience harvesting cotton and visiting a cotton mill.
Our Anniversary Delegation consisting of founder Bruce Cottington, his son Jim and grandchildren Levi and Anna, along with Bob & Betty Hermann, Dean & Gloria Ohland, Don & Sue Christofferson, Loree Schultz, Tim Bergstrom, Karen Becker, Terri Anderson, Rob Cole, Amanda Anderson, Holly Schultz-Anderson, and Tyler Warren will join the regular delegation Thursday evening at the Sister City Community Banquet.
On Friday we will spend the day together touring Pollard Milling, Reeder's Bait Farm, Ten Mile Creek Farm, Working Cow Dairy, Golden Peanut Company and Wiregrass Research and Extension Center. Our Hartford friends have arranged for a Fish Fry at lunch time -- the most amazing catfish you will ever taste!
Saturday we will travel to Dothan, Alabama for the National Peanut Festival Reception and Parade. Bruce Cottington will be riding in the parade with Neal Outlaw, who was the first Hartford FFA delegate to Litchfield 40 years ago. That evening we will enjoy a BBQ supper at Wiregrass Electric Cooperative. We're still trying to get that secret BBQ recipe, but no luck!
Check out the great news articles from the Hartford, Alabama and Willmar, Minnesota newspapers!
