Thank You!

🚜🚜2021 Farmers Appreciation Sponsors🚜🚜

We wanted to thank all of our 2021 Farmers Appreciation Dinner sponsors. Without you, the dinner would not be possible. We were able to host the event last night, November 18th, at the Worth County Ag Pavilion. The night was full of good food, conversation, award recognitions, and amazing door prizes.

Beyond this dinner, your sponsorship helps fund the 3 Farmers Appreciation Scholarships for those pursuing Agricultural Studies or are children/grand-children of a Worth County Farmer. However, it does not stop there, it also funds our Farmer of the Year float in the Georgia Peanut Festival Parade. Overall, your sponsorship allows us to truly show our utmost appreciation to the drivers of our local economy.

Again, thank you to our sponsors for making this program possible!
