LEESBURG– The Cherokee County Farm-City Banquet will recognize youth and adults Tuesday, Nov. 17, at The Venue at Chesnut Bay. The event runs from 6 to 8 p.m. at 4507 County Road 147.
According to the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, the free banquet is a joint effort with the Alabama Farmers Federation. The organizations will celebrate Farm-City Week and also present youth and adult awards.
Beyond the awards, Farm-City also promotes understanding between agricultural and urban communities. The Alabama Farmers Federation says the program highlights how farmers and other workers help move products from fields to families.
Meanwhile, Cherokee County has provided financial support for local Extension activities. As WEIS previously reported, the County Commission presented Landon Marks with a $2,000 check at its Oct. 26 meeting. That funding also supports activities including Farm Day for third graders and the Farm-City Banquet.
For those interested in attending, Extension’s listing includes an online registration link. However, prospective guests should confirm availability and registration arrangements with Marks before making plans.
