Despite a bit of haze courtesy of the fires in Canada, it was a beautiful evening for a gathering on June 29 under the covered pavilion of the Roe Jan Brewing Co. in Hillsdale. While some of the attendees were new readers of RI, others were longtime friends and advertisers, and we were delighted to meet with all as they got their first glimpse of the new printed issue. We look forward to hosting more Rural Intelligence events this year. Stay tuned!
