Hoffman. “Our salespeople have
done a wonderful job up to this
point and all indications are that
they will continue to do so until the
very day of the banquet,” he ad
ded. The Federation sells tickets to
the banquet through a network of
voluntary salespeople from its
membership list.
Hoffman credits banquet co
chairman Jay Greider of Greider’s
Hatchery in Elizabethtown, and
Mel Mitchell of V.F. Weaver, Inc.,
New Holland, with getting the
word out to salesmen that the need
to actively show support for the
Federation is greater this year
than it has ever been.
Both Greider and Mitchell are
pleased at the numbers so far and
hope to be able to match last year’s
sales before April 5, the date of the
banquet.
The gala banquet, which is the
largest poultry related event in the
Northeastern United States,
features a social hour and dinner
followed by entertainment from
some of the top stars in America.
This year, the featured en
tertainers are country western
recording star Reba McEntire and
comedian David Brenner. The
same format that was used last
year, which had attendees en
joying their meal and then
proceeding to another large room
to watch the show, will be used
again at this year’s banquet.
Tickets for this year’s banquet,
which will be held at the Hershey
Convention Center, can be pur
chased by contacting the Penn
sylvania Poultry Federation office
in Harrisburg at (717) 652-7530.
