Day at the Legislature & Taste of West Virginia Reception Slated for February
Don’t miss your opportunity to sample the finest goodies from West
Virginia producers while chatting with legislators about issues of concern.
The annual West Virginia Farm Bureau and West Virginia Forestry
Association’s Day at the Legislature and Taste of West Virginia Reception
are scheduled for February 3 in Charleston. The day begins at the state
capitol at 10 am, where members can meet with their representatives,
keeping them infomed on matters important to agriculture. As always, a
group photo will be taken at 1 pm, near the
WVFB display.
At 6 pm, be sure to join us at the Marriott Town Center for the Taste of
West Virginia Reception. Many of your friends and neighbors will be in
attendance, as well as numerous legislators. It’s a great time to get to know
them on a more personal level. Don’t miss out!
Group photos will be available for any county Farm Bureaus who wish to
have one taken.
Food Check-Out Set for March 26-28
WVFB’s Women’s Leadership Committee is again sponsoring Food Check-Out, this year in March. The
annual event raises awareness of America’s affordable and abundant food supply, while benefitting the three
Ronald McDonald Houses in Huntington, Charleston and Morgantown, West Virginia.
Shopping events will take place for Huntington at the Barboursville Kroger at 10 AM on March 26th; for
Charleston at the Kanawha City Kroger at 10 AM on the 27th; and for Morgantown at the Patteson Drive
Kroger at 10 AM on the 28th. The groceries and supplies purchased will then be delivered to each Ronald
McDonald House. Local Farm Bureaus will also be soliciting donations of food, supplies and monetary gifts
beforehand. If you are interested in donating to this worthy cause, call the WVFB office at 800-398-4630.
