The Strathmore Legion was filled with local farmers as they enjoyed a bountiful meal of local barbecue while talking about the harvest season.
The event took place on Thursday (Oct. 10) and was presented by 104.5 More Country and was emceed by morning show host Keesyn Glawson.
"It's a fun event. It's good to catch up with everybody because we've all been busy over the last two months," said Dane Hilton, who works with Hilton Ventures. "It's a nice chance to unwind and see how everybody did."
A catered feast was provided by Baldwin BBQ, featuring foods such as barbecue chicken, macaroni and cheese, and cornbread. Following the meal, there was a prize draw featuring gift cards, wine racks, and charcuterie boards.
"They used to bring meals out to the field, but we enjoy this because you get to visit with other farmers, especially after a busy run," added Hilton.
The event was sponsored by many local businesses and organizations, including:
- Aquilla Homes
- Connect First Credit Union
- Magnum Services
- Mountainview Colony Meats
- Origin Brewing
- Peavey Mart
- Ruth Alexander with Rare Group
- Scotiabank
