The annual Hall County Farm City Week Breakfast is set for 7:30 a.m. Nov. 13 at the East Hall Community Center. The event, coordinated by the Hall County Cooperative Extension and Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce, will feature Wes Sarginson, a well-known Atlanta broadcaster. A complimentary breakfast will be served. Reservations are required.

For many years, the Hall County Extension Service and the Hall chamber have coordinated the breakfast in observance of National Farm City Week, the third week in November each year. During the week, local farmers and those working in agriculture and agribusiness are honored and encouraged to build strong relationships between our rural and urban community and our city businesses and leaders. We recognize these hardworking individuals and companies who help spur our economic prosperity and feed our country, state, country and the world.

The purpose of the Hall County Farm City Breakfast is twofold: to highlight the impact of agriculture and agribusiness in Hall County and to educate and enlighten the entire community on the importance of agriculture to Hall County and the state of Georgia.
