THE FARMERS SHARE BREAKFAST HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO MAY 16, 2020

The Licking County Farm Bureau will hold its annual Farmers Share Breakfast on Saturday, May 16, 2020 at CTEC in Newark. Last year, between the sponsorships and the donations the day of the breakfast, this event raised enough money to help fund camp scholarships for campers who had financial need as well as provide a $30 discount for every camper who attended the Licking County 4-H Summer Camp. We are hoping to raise enough money to do something similar (or better!) this year. Please spread the word and come enjoy a delicious breakfast for a donation. There will also be a 1/64th scale farm display contest. Any Licking County Farm Bureau member or their children are eligible to enter.
