NAMA Bombers Hit The Highway

Chuck Zimmerman

The NAMA Bombers apparently had a good ride this year. It certainly wasn’t as long as last year though. Here’s a couple of them. I’ll let you identify them. Thanks to Jerry Povenmire for sending along a few photos. They have been added to the Conference photo album. 2008 Agri-Marketing Conference Photo Album

Brownfield Howls

Chuck Zimmerman

The happy faces of Brownfield greeted NAMA members last night at Howl at the Moon. I’ve been to more than a few Brownfield NAMA parties and this one ranks up near the top of my list.

Chuck Zimmerman

Speaking of rock. We were speaking of rock weren’t we? Colle + McVoy held the 6th Annual Agri-Rock Fest this evening. Here’s some of the band.
