Greetings from the 81st Annual State Convention!

Hello All! We are having an exciting time here in Fayetteville. Many of us arrived yesterday, we were busy setting up contest rooms, exhibits, and registering the delegates and nondelegates.

Today, we've been busy debating issues in committees, listening to workshops and doing some tasting of some wonderful sweets tonight at our tasting party of all the fantastic baking entries!

Tonight we presented some awesome awards at dinner and heard from our National Grange Representatives, Jeff and Nancy Swainston.

Here's a few pictures!
