Ag Appreciation Banquet to take a new course

Editor:

To area ag producers, for 17 years, the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce's Agri-Business Committee has organized the Ag Appreciation Banquet with incredible support through business sponsorships. This has been an event the committee and community have truly enjoyed. Havre’s banquet is one of the largest Ag Appreciation Banquets in the state. The purpose of the banquet is to recognize and thank all of you in the agriculture industry for your valuable contribution to the Havre economy as well as to that of Montana.

The Agri-Business Committee is working on a new direction for the Ag Appreciation Banquet. The committee has decided to postpone this year’s banquet. The reason being, Havre has been fortunate enough to have a junior hockey team come to town and their ice time requirements will start in September and run through April, thus the Ice Dome will be unavailable for this year’s September banquet. With planning time tight, it was decided to postpone the event for this year. This will give the committee some additional time to plan for future Ag Appreciation banquets. While there will not be a banquet this year, the Ag Committee will still present their annual scholarship to Northern students focused on a degree in agriculture, as funds raised from the banquet go to sponsor said scholarships.

For 2015, the Ag Committee will join in partnership with the Northern Agricultural Research Center to celebrate its 100th anniversary. This event is set for July 1, 2015, and will include many activities at NARC, including the Chamber’s Ag Appreciation Banquet. Your past participation has been very much appreciated, and we look forward to seeing you at the 2015 event.

Again, thank you for your contribution to the Havre economy and see you July 1, 2015.
