This year our annual banquet was held at Foothills Restaurant in Forest. The food and accommodations were excellent. Our guest speaker was Patrick Ellis, who does the morning weather on WLBT. Patrick talked about his experiences living in Mississippi and predicting our ever changing weather. We were excited to have someone with his expertise.
Many of our elected officials attended as well to show their support for our cause.
Anita Webb, longtime Extension Service Coordinator, was awarded the Friend of Forestry plaque for her unwavering support for forestry and conservation in Scott County.
After a two year hiatus, it was good to get back to food, fellowship and forestry..
We want to thank each and everyone of you for your continued support.
