The 59th Annual Watauga County Farm City Banquet will be held Thursday, November 6th, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. at the Boone United Methodist Church.

The theme for the 59th Farm City Banquet is �Barns: Outstanding in their Field� . Following a local food supper, we will recognize individuals for their contributions and support of our local agricultural economy. We will also have door prizes that will be given out at the end of the celebration.

Each year the public are asked to nominate outstanding people that YOU know have made a positive impact on youth, agriculture, and our community. A list of awards and application forms can be downloaded at http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/?at..._id=316890 or picked up from the Extension office at 971 West King Street in Boone.

Completed applications can be mailed or dropped off to the Extension Center or e-mailed to [email protected] by Friday, October 17, 2014. Please bring a canned food item to donate to area food banks. We look forward to you being a part of this wonderful collaboration as we celebrate the bonds that unite our urban and rural communities.
