Graettinger Farmers Institute Holds Successful Event
The Graettinger Farmers Institute, held Thursday through Saturday last week, drew strong attendance amid good weather. Courses covered farm produce, poultry, culinary arts, needlework, clothing, canning, and school work exhibits, with high quality programs and a packed opera house audience. Veteran organizers led by R. M. Young and Vincent Kelly were praised for reviving the event, while Graettinger also launched a new poultry farm venture by Ray Kennedy and Ray Roush, who plan commercial chicken production at the Kennedy and Carhanan property, taking possession in March. Both veterans served in World War I and aim to build a substantial local business.
