027 |The Country Christmas Connection rolls for its 5th year

Building on an existing foundation The Country Christmas Connection (#TCCC) is back. The effort was started in 2013 by Jamie Rhoades and Laurie Link. In 2016, when Darleen Sichley and Jenny Schweigert learned the exchange may stop, they couldn't let it happen. Their friendship was built from the connection Jamie and Laurie made just for them. The torch was passed and Christmas in the Country became The Country Christmas Connection, out of respect for Jamie and Laurie. They have had big boots to fill and its been a continuous learning experience, yet Darleen and Jenny are ready to begin their second year of leading this effort.  Above all, this is a project to form relationships with like-minded individuals while highlighting the respective geographical areas. Darleen and Jenny are working in baby steps to eventually use this project to connect rural and urban individuals.  In 2017, participants can be from the agriculture community or rural areas. We are also considering International additions.  Take a listen to this quick mini-pod. for additional details and be stalking us on Nov. 13th when registration forms become available on www.GuernseyMama.com, www.TheMagicFarmHouse.com and www.KeepingAgReal.com.
