The Franklin County
Republican Party's annual Reagan Day Dinner was a success with Republican
Commissioner of Agriculture Steve Troxler as the guest speaker. Russell Vollmer,
husband of school board member Mary Vollmer, introduced Troxler at the
March 31 event.
Commissioner Troxler said that North Carolina products are some of the best in
the nation and that sweet potatoes are the number one produced crop followed by
pork. North Carolina is the third most diverse state in the nation, he said.
The average age of the North Carolina farmer is 57 years old, Troxler said, and
they are not getting any younger.
That's why it's vital to the food supply to have immigrants work here because
it's "necessary for agriculture," Troxler said. He said it would be a "terrible
mistake" to close borders because unemployment would occur. Troxler supports a
program that he would approve that would allow immigrants to work here
temporarily in such jobs as picking produce and working in animal processing.
Commissioner Troxler was presented a Franklin County tobacco barn print by
Chairman Ed Strickland during the dinner.
Some who were present: Dan Mansell, candidate for Congress, Chuck Stires for
state Senate, Dave Harker for state House, Terry Allen for sheriff; Kent
Winstead for sheriff, school board member Mary Vollmer and Commissioner Don
Lancaster.

Also many thanks to Nita Mahoney,
Opie Pearce and others for helping make the Reagan Day Dinner a success. Plenty
of people brought food for the reception such as shrimp, sausages, sausage
cheese balls, cheeses and this:
The Nearly Two-Foot Wide Tray
John Edwards likes to toot his horn with his custom-made vegetable tray which
has homemade pimento cheese (and it's the best), vegetable dip (both the pimento
cheese and vegetable dip are placed inside purple cabbage halves), carrots,
celery, cauliflower, cucumbers, red and white seedless grapes, and bell peppers
holding cheddar and Jalapeno pepper cheese. John spent about four hours
designing the tray.
The Franklin County Republican Party thanks everyone who participated in our
Reagan Day Dinner which was another successful fundraiser.
