'True Leaders'

Farm Bureau honors Halpin family, Wills as outstanding members

The nominees for the Grundy County Farm Bureau's "Outstanding Farm Bureau Member" Award were so qualified the board couldn't decided between the two, so there were two recipients.

About 120 people attended the 98th annual meeting of the Grundy County Farm Bureau Thursday that was held at Chapin's North Banquets, inside the Quality Inn in Morris. The bureau conducted its business meeting, hosted dinner, held an awards presentation and had several speakers.

The "Outstanding Farm Bureau Member" Award was created to recognize the "true leaders" of the organizations, said Tasha Bunting, manager of the bureau. The award was given to Frank Halpin and family of Gardner, and Elvin Wills of Coal City.
