Arizona Farming & Ranching Hall of Fame Seeks Nominees
We were so honored a couple of years ago when Gertie and Bill Hickman were selected to be inducted in the Arizona Farming & Ranching Hall of Fame.
Each year an impartial panel of judges selects seven honorees, five living and two posthumous, to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Deadline for nominations is October 1, 2010. The 2011 inductees will be introduced at the Fourth Annual Honoree Dinner on Feb 26, at the Estrella Vista Reception Center in Avondale.
Please address nominations and supporting material to the Arizona Farming Ranching Hall of Fame in care of the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce, 289 N. Litchfield Rd., Goodyear, AZ. 85338.
Nominating applications are available at www.heritageatlakinfarm.org , by e-mailing Carole De Cosmo at codeco2@aol.com or calling her at (623) 695-9614.
The Arizona Farming & Ranching Hall of Fame will be a permanent exhibit of the Arizona’s Farming & Ranching Experience Heritage Center at Lakin Farm —Preserving the Legacy. The grounds will replicate a 20th century farm, allowing visitors to learn about Arizona’s rich agricultural history. There will be a covered pavilion, exhibition space for 4-H and FFA students to show their livestock, an 8,000-square-foot farming and ranching museum and a terrace café. The facility is expected to open in 2012 on 40 acres of land near the Gila River in Avondale.
