How does the Bryan/College Station Chamber of Commerce celebrate Thanksgiving?....by hosting an annual breakfast featuring the foods grown and/or produced in the Brazos Valley and having local farmers, ranchers and agriculture business representatives prepare and serve it!
• Date: Tuesday, November 20, 2012
• Time: 7:00 am to 8:00 am
• Location: Brazos County Expo
• Cost: $15
• Sponsors: Capital Farm Credit & Producers Cooperative
The Chamber’s Agribusiness Council has as its mission to "promote agribusiness and educate our membership on the importance of local agribusiness." While an often forgotten contributor to our local economy, Brazos County agribusinesses are highlighted at the breakfast.
Most people do not know which businesses and industries are considered part of the food and fiber system. The total system includes all economic activities linked to agricultural production, such as machinery repair, fertilizer production, food processing and manufacturing, transportation, wholesale and retail distribution of products, and eating establishments. Also included are the economic activities that link the production of plant and animal fibers and hides to fabric, clothing, and footwear.
These are just some of the interesting facts featured at the "Taste of the Brazos". RSVP by clicking HERE, calling the Chamber at 260-5200 or e-mailing linda@bcschamber.org. All breakfast foods have been contributed by local growers and suppliers.
