 |
 |
| Sherry and Mark Guenter (Center, of Muddy Pond Sorghum Mill, producer of award-winning syrup). Sherry is THE vibrant clogger who often entertains at the end of the NSSPPA banquet. | Head Table. (William Patten (ex officio), Morris Bitzer, Doug Hildreth (president).) |
 |
 |
| Head Table. (Jimmy Ross, Jerry Steinlage, Pat Sexton.) | Irvin Stephens. (First Place in Syrup Competition.) |
 |
 |
Pat Sexton, Jerry Steinlage, and David Purdy (Second Place in Syrup Competition.) Three nice people! |
James and Ruby Butcher. (Third Place in Syrup Competition.) |
 |
 |
| Margaret and Cliff Heil and Larry and Jane Johnson. (Small world: Jane is the sister of the physician who was Nedra's ENT doctor at the time!) | Margaret Woodyard, Nedra Outlaw, and William and Marilyn Sue Batteau. (Margaret, health conscious, very graciously gave Nedra two bags of organic sugar.) |
 |
|
| Stan Hildebrand. Certainly not to the exclusion of others, Stan is one interesting fellow (African historian, beekeeper, organic farmer). | Danny Townsend of Townsend Sorghum Mill. I appreciated Danny's dynamic personality (and the four bottles of syrup, which has consistently rated high in syrup competitions). |
 |
 |
| David Holland (whose operation has been featured in Southern Living and local publications) having a discussion with the Robinsons. | David Jones, dairy farmer, at the registation table. |
