HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce announced Wednesday that, because of pandemic restrictions, this year’s Farm Focus Family breakfast will be held virtually on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 8:30 a.m.
The Chamber says it is working on ways to still celebrate the area's agricultural heritage and thank Reno County farmers for the work they do.
The featured speaker this year will be Rick McNary, founder of Shop Kansas Farms. During the virtual breakfast, the Chamber will also be announcing this year's Farm Focus Family and Agri-Business of the Year.
One new idea for this year's event is to partner with ag-based organizations to host smaller gatherings that would join the virtual Membership Breakfast event on Zoom. The Chamber is looking for five to seven businesses that would be interested in hosting a small group of their agricultural members and customers at their place of business. In return, the Chamber will provide a light breakfast for each location to enjoy during the event.
Businesses interested in hosting one of these small gatherings during the Membership Breakfast should contact Chelsey Dawson at [email protected] or 620-662-3391.
