Farm Bureau Membership Appreciation

-

Today, Farm Bureau had their annual membership appreciation day. They had hot dogs and stuff.
Shelby brought Noel and Charity's kids. We saw Josie Widener there, with 2 of her grandkids, Bryson and Alyssa. (Robin McMillian Flynn's kids)
They gave each of us a goody bag of stuff when we first got there.
They had the "meeting" part at the beginning, going over stuff from the past year. We got there too late for that -- YAY! (hee, hee) Then as everyone ate and talked to people, and the kids were in line for balloons from the clown, they called out ticket numbers for the prizes. I think the kids were lined up for balloon creations the entire time we were there! (poor, tired clown!)
I wanted the $25 prize, but guess what I got? Two tickets to the races! Yep, to Bristol Dragway, hahaha! I just knew I would get something I didn't need. So Travis took it back up there for someone else to win. The guy said, "Thank You!" and gave me some more stuff! Travis won a hat, Rebekah got a bag, and JohnDavid and Bethany got Frisbees.
Also, for the kids, outside they had a fire truck, sheriff's car, tractors, and a boat.
I met 2 ladies that knew my Mom and Dad from high school! After we left there, we were almost across the road from my Mom and Dad's, so we went over there for about an hour and a half and took them peanut butter delight (the hot dogs were all gone).
So, why write about this? Not very exciting, but I took pictures, and wanted to tell where they were from.

Yes, they had a good time! The little kids loved the balloon swords, and of course the older kids, esp. the girls, love to go to stuff just to socialize.

Rebekah's assignment was to imagine she lived in the 1750's and was employed to write a brochure for a colony... One of the four southern states, North Carolina is one of the beautiful original 13 colonies. Geography Beautiful waterfalls are located in southern North Carolina. Along with many rivers, the Roanoke River in North Eastern Carolina, the Albemarle Sound, The Neuse, and Tar Rivers drain in central North Carolina. In the Mountains the Appalachians are blanketed with snow in the winter. The climate is never too cold or hot. (World Book N-O) Economy The economy was similar to that of the Chesapeake Colonies. (World Book N-O) The production of tobacco and slave labor was on what the economy’s growth and prosperity was based. (Wikipedia) Also North Carolinians farmed on small, individual farms.
