Last night we attended the Marin County Farm Bureau annual dinner. There were around 116 people in attendance, which is a great turn out. Our kids were two of the attendees.........they don't want to miss a thing!
The evening began with three members of our 4H club, leading the Pledge of Allegiance.....Logan Pomi, Bryce and Derrick Pomi {ages 8, 6 and 10}. Great job 4Hers! Always good to give young kids the opportunity to stand on stage in front of a room full of adults and speak........just my opinion.
Gary Sack, CA State Farm Bureau Field Rep. gives the invocation before dinner.
I found out Paige is a BIG ham and loves being on stage.
CA Farm Bureau President, Paul Wenger attended the dinner and gave a very engaging speech to the crowd. Speaking about some CA farm issues, and the important role social media plays for farmers by giving them the opportunity to share their stories.

So nice to see the kids involved!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute kids! And it's ironic that you know a Paul Wenger - my son's name is Paul Wegner!
