Next on the Agenda was introduction of the night's speaker. Windsor Commissioner Hoyt Cooper (below) introduced Representative Annie Mobley.



Representative Annie Mobley (below) lives currently in Hertford County, but she was born here in Bertie County. She talked about our region and her hopes for its growth and success.



There was a good crowd at the new Convention Center and the room proved to be a great place to hold this type of dinner event.



One of the highlights of the evening was the excellent food that was provided by our local organization, Hammerhead's, (from left) Minnie Hoggard, Stacey Harrell, Lisa Harrell, Luis Hoggard and Deb Everett.



It was a great night for Windsor and Bertie County.
