Farm Fatigue

SUPPORT OUR LOCAL FARMERS – DRIVE SAFELY! Every year the Glencoe and Hutchinson Chamber of Commerce seek goodies from our members, then collate 300 gift bags and buckets (donated by Miller Manufacturing) with items that have been donated and distributed to county farmers during the fall harvest time. We just want the farm community to know how much the business community appreciates their hard work.
