“Our mission is to promote pride and interest in agriculture,” said DeKalb FSA County Executive Director Mandi Bird. “Our goal is to provide information and sources of support, in a fun and social setting, which will enrich the personal and professional lives of women involved in the many facets of agriculture.”

Following at 6:15 with gardening tricks, tips and strategies by Craig Hayes of Earl May Nursery & Gardening. At 7:15 we will hear from an inspirational speaker, Susie Oberdahlhoff. Susie uses her experience as a farm wife, mother, preacher’s kid, and professional experience in agriculture, to bring her unique sense of humor to regular everyday experiences and sends her audience home with a lighter, more positive outlook on life. All the while, heavy hors d’oeurvres, with desserts & drinks will be catered once again by “Sisters Act” from 4:00-7:00.
