Layne Blankenship spoke passionately about the importance of encouraging young farmers and helping to keep alive the dreams of children who hope to be employed as full time farmers.

Local homeschooler James Hall, pictured with his parents, educators Tara and Michael Hall, gave a moving and perfectly executed performance of Johann Sebastian Bach's Prelude and Fugue for piano.
