Galen Chadwick said… - Yes, it was a wonderful evening.
Weather cut the numbers who could attend,
but the spirit was high and the music terrific.
The cause of restoring a secure regional food supply
is spreading, and more join us every day.
I am pretty sure that food freedom issues will soon
dominate many Missouri political races.
