NAFB Awards and Stuff

Cindy Zimmerman

The usual awards and honors were handed out at the National Association of Farm Broadcasting (NAFB) annual convention this year, but since we were only on-site for 24 hours this year, we have no photos to share of our own. This one is from Brownfield Ag News of Cyndi Young-Puyear who was inducted into the Hall of Fame, along with Jim Evans with the University of Illinois.

(Just for the record, ZimmComm has not been the official photographer for NAFB in a very long time. They hire their own photographer, so if you want any photos, you have to contact them.)

Here are some other winners, according to the NAFB Convention Chronicles.
