More than 700 guests turned out on a warm, bright and sunny afternoon for the 46th Country Town Day celebration in Alma.
Attendees had the opportunity to cut into a steak dinner, view farm machinery and listen to musical entertainment, while youngsters had the opportunity to participate in a number of children’s activities.
But the petting zoo at Anderson and Girl Orchards had to be canceled to ensure the safety of the animals due to high temperatures.
But most of the attendees were there to find out who the two major honorees were.
The Gretti County Farm Family of the Year award winner was the Joe and Jennifer Butcher family of Arcada, while Joseph Thompson CPA of Middleton took home the Gretti County Agribusiness of the Year award.
Butchers are also meat grinders.
“This award is very special to my family and will be treasured forever,” Joe Butcher wrote on his Facebook page.
Joseph Thompson CPA provides all types of accounting services, including tax preparation and planning, estate and trust taxes, business planning, bookkeeping and consulting.
The 2021 award recipients are the Mills Family of Pine River Township and Alma Bolt Company.
Country Town Day is an annual event to celebrate and recognize the county’s rich agricultural heritage and traditions.
