I hope you will mark your calendars for Saturday, June 11, 2016. That is the date of the first Farmer Appreciation Day. For more than 10 years, KDHL has teamed up with our sister station KRFO in Owatonna to sponsor the Farmer Appreciation Breakfast.

For many years it was hosted by Roger at Culvers in Owatonna. Roger retired, so we needed to come up with another plan. Our company, Townsquare Media has a special live events coordinator who organizes things like this. So, why not use their experience and turn the Farmer Appreciation Breakfast into a bigger Farmer Appreciation Day?

Of course, the day will start with a free breakfast. But it will be much more than free food. Exhibits will be set up with businesses farmers work with, and there will be other activities for the whole family. Did you notice another change? The Farmer Appreciation breakfast was always held during the week. The first Farmer Appreciation Day will be on a Saturday. There are many farmers that have off-farm jobs who could not attend during the week.

Farmer Appreciation Day

Saturday, June 11, 2016
8 am - 12 pm
Rice County Fairgrounds

 

Hopefully a lot of consumers will be there, too. Maybe they can learn a little about agriculture in 2016. In addition, another change is the location to the Rice County Fairgrounds, which has a lot more space. Spread the word and I sure hope to see you there!
