Banquet Information / Overview

"The purpose of the Wilson County Agricultural Hall of Fame is to recognize citizens of Wilson County who have made a significant impact on agriculture in Wilson County, Tennessee, nationally or worldwide" states Keith Harrison, the Chairman of the Wilson County Agricultural Hall of Fame. "We feel the time is right to pay tribute to these very deserving individuals. Each has made significant contributions to Wilson County Agriculture, as well as Wilson County in general."

Other members of the Board of Directors of the Wilson County Agriculture Hall of Fame are Jeffrey Turner, Vice Chairman; Neal Oakley, Secretary; Diane Major, Treasurer; Ben Powell: Louis Fletcher; Isabel Hall & Lucas Holman. The organizers have established a non-profit status for the organization to enable them to raise money to be used for a building on the Ward Agricultural Center to be dedicated to the individuals inducted into the Wilson County Agricultural Hall of Fame. "Any funds raised over and above the costs of putting on the annual banquet will be set aside for the building," states Jeffrey Turner, Vice Chairman of the Hall of Fame.

Tickets for the April 1 banquet can be purchased by calling 444-1890 ext. 3. The cost is $30 each. Jordan’s Catering will be preparing the meal that evening, which is another reason to join in on the festivities. "We want folks to come together to recognize these deserving individuals on April 1," says Harrison. "We owe these folks a great deal of gratitude for everything they have done for agriculture as well as Wilson County."
