Annual “Farmers Appreciation Banquet” - April 13th

North Carolina Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler is set to be speaker at the 14th Annual “Farmers Appreciation Banquet” sponsored by the Windsor/Bertie Chamber Of Commerce.

The annual banquet has been set for April 13th, 2005 at the Heritage House Restaurant in Windsor at 6:30 PM.

The Farmers Appreciation Dinner is a way for the chamber membership to give thanks for the economic impact that the farming and agricultural industry makes on Bertie County.

Guest Speaker Steve Troxler is our new Commissioner of Agriculture after a long court contested defeat of the former Commissioner. Troxler is a graduate of N.C. State with a Bachelor of Science Degree in conservation, with a concentration in environmental studies. Mr. Troxler has served as a "century member" and Director of the Tobacco Growers Association of North Carolina. Steve Troxler has spent his entire life around agriculture and it is a pleasure to have him come into our community.

The Chamber has asked that anyone in Bertie County, who is involved in farming, and has not received an invitation please contact them at 794-4277 to be added to the list. Please call and make your reservation by 3 PM on April 8th or email Patrick Demofonte.
