HURON COUNTY FEDERATION
OF AGRICULTURE
Annual/Regional
Meeting
Friday, October 23, 1998
Goderich Township Hall
Holmesville
Dinner: 7:00 p.m.
Speaker:
Crystal MacKay,
Ontario Pork Board
Communications Specialist
Topic:
"The Funny Farm
Comes to Town"
Tickets: S12 available from
Directors or County Office.
Crystal will share her humorous
insights into country living. She
has devised a way to tell if you
can relate to life in a rural
community, and she'll keep you
guessing about a sure-fire way
to make money on the farm.
Funny stories of her experiences
with people who aren't familiar
with farming are mixed in with
the importance of keeping the
lines of communication open
with agriculture's customer: the
consumer.
