Bob Harris, Committee Chairman of the Lee County Farm City Tour Committee, said “the people here are from the Lee County Farm City Committee and we wanted to honor you for this day.”
Harris requested a moment of silence for the thousands of people and their families that were affected by the events of Sept. 11.
