A crowd of farmers and those who support the local farming industry gathered at the Arbor Campus of the First United Methodist Church of Alexander City Tuesday night for the annual Tallapoosa County Farmer’s Federation Farm City Banquet. Guests included Tallapoosa County Commissioners John McKelvey and Emma Jean Thweatt, Sheriff Jimmy Abbett and members of the FFA from Benjamin Russell, Horseshoe Bend and Reeltown.
“I feel blessed to live in Tallapoosa County,” TCFF President Rod Havens said during his opening remarks. “I think this is one of the most beautiful counties in the state and maybe even the country.”
