It’s been a pleasant fall so far in my neighborhood. Hope it lasts a while longer.
Thanks to all who donated prizes to our successful raffle at the State Session and to all who purchased tickets. Special thanks to Bob and Agnes Nelson for their help manning the raffle table.
State headquarters was the location for the annual meeting for Maine Ag in the Classroom. They presented a donation to the committee to cover one Ag Scholarship. Dinner was prepared and served by members of the committee and friends. Thank you, Agnes, for your expertise in getting the meal together, and to all who helped with setup, prep, carrying everything up and down the stairs, and clean up.
When doing your holiday (or anytime) gift buying, remember to shop locally and support Maine agriculture. Consider a CSA purchase, gift card or certificate to a neighborhood greenhouse, farm stand/farmers’ market, or local seed catalog. Check out the every growing number of small shops selling artisan cheeses, soaps, syrups, jams, pickles, and many other items.
Have a thankful and relaxing Thanksgiving holiday.
