This season our theme was Nine In A Line- We had at the great opportunity to tell the stories of many people who were involved in the grain industry - focusing mainly on elevator agents. You can still check out the display this weekend Saturday 11- and Sunday and Monday 1-5. Riley Webster created some great videos that help to tell a little bit about the life of elevator agents. Check out the videos.
