On Thursday, November 14th at 6 pm Bill Kemp of the McLean County Museum of History will be here to talk about 'Pioneer Cattle and Hog Droving'. Before the coming of the railroads, McLean County Farmers marched livestock to markets as far away as Chicago and Cincinnati. Can you imagine driving 2,000 hogs 120 miles to Chicago in the wind, ice, and snow of November? Isacc Funk and other area livestock farmers lived to tell the tale. Do you know any farmers out there who might be interested in this topic? Help us to spread the word. Bill Kemp is an excellent speaker and I'm sure you would enjoy it! Registration is appreciated for this event.
On Saturday, November 18th at 10:30 am, Sara Reid will teach a basic photography class for DSLR cameras. Register for this event also so that Sara will know how many people to expect.
Hope that you can make it to some of these events!
