Carroll County Farm Bureau

Last week the 4C's, our Primetimers group, took a tour of Roger's Creek Grist Mill in Milledgeville. It was quite an interesting evening. I myself have never been interested in history. My idea of history is yesterday. I was very much a math, accounting, and chemistry student. However, I found the tour very interesting. Bonnie and Roger Bork did a great job talking about how they got into Grist Mills and why they built a mill on their property.

I had taken my son with me for the evening. He wasn't thrilled about accompanying mom on a work program. However, once we got there and he watched the water wheel work its magic, he was glad he came. He also thoroughly enjoyed the part where Roger ground corn into corn meal. They will be holding an Open House on October 18 and November 15 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. They also sell their products which include whole wheat flour, corn meal, pancake mixes, muffin mixes, and more at their location and a few stores throughout the county. You can call them at 815-225-7236 or visit their website at www.rogerscreekgristmill.com.

Starting on Tuesday, October 14, WCCI will be running a different legislator or opponent's responses each day between 8 and 8:30 a.m. to questions we proposed in order to help our members in making a decision this November when they are at the polls. So be sure to tune in!
