Annual Rural Restoration conference scheduled

SIKESTON, Mo. -- The message for this year's Rural Restoration Conference, explained Carol Cohen, will be the need for Americans to turn back to the foundations which were essential in establishing the United States of America.

Cohen, executive assistant of Adopt a Farm Family of America Inc., is working with its founders, Peter and Mary Myers, in organizing the annual conference, which this year is scheduled for Feb. 14-17 at the Ramada Inn.

While the event is primarily geared to farmers and those affiliated with agriculture, organizers emphasized all of the programs are open to the public. Although there is no charge to attend the workshops or keynote sessions, there is a $10 charge for each meal.

Those wanting meal tickets are asked to contact the ADOPT office by Feb. 10.

For more information or to make meal reservations call the Rural Restoration office at (800) 472-4674.
