More than 150 people attended Rep. Tedd Nesbit’s Aug. 29 Senior Breakfast at the McQuiston Center in Sandy Lake. The breakfast included a discussion about a number of senior-related bills moving through the Legislature, including several new laws that may impact them. Nesbit also explained numerous programs and services to seniors, many of whom just turned 65 and may not have been aware of all that is available to them.

Congratulations to T.R. Shearer Ag Commodities Inc. of Sandy Lake for recently receiving the Agricultural Industry Hall of Fame Award from the Crawford County Pomona Grange at the Crawford County Fair. Founded by Todd Shearer, who is CEO, the company is a full-service agricultural business that provides farmers with the supplies and services they need. Over his 35-year career, Shearer has been active in a variety of ag-related organizations. Rep. Nesbit presented him with a citation from the state House to recognize this honor.
