It was a big night for Agri employees at the Annual Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet on April 20.

The theme was “Glitz and Glamour” so naturally we all had to look very shiny. I’d say mission accomplished!

To start things off, Jason Davis was awarded the Past President Award. Jason served two long years as president of the chamber and is still very active on the board.

Then, our very own Matt Rabbass and Corbin Settles graduated from Leadership Fairfield; a program they have been in since September. The program consists of eight monthly sessions with different expert presenters, panels of community leaders, and behind-the-scenes tours of Fairfield businesses and organizations.

To cap off the night, Lori received an Outstanding Citizen of the Year Award for her many years of service to the citizens and city of Fairfield (not the least of all…her Agri family!).

We truly do have an amazing Agri family accomplishing very amazing things in, and for, our community. And that’s on top of looking so fly in all that sequin.

Please join us in congratulating everyone on their accomplishments!
