Farm Aid’s annual concert and fund raiser will be October 4, 2009, in St. Louis, Missouri, and you can get tickets and details at www.FarmAid.org.
They are sponsoring a photo contest, and entrants have a chance to win front row tickets, airfare and hotel for the concert:
Like everything we do, it’s about supporting and celebrating family farmers. Your entry can be a photo of anything related to family farmers and the good food they produce. We’re looking for photos of farms, farmers and farm families, tractors and barns, the perfect tomatoes you bought at a farmers market, or your favorite farm animals – anything and everything that shows the vibrancy and beauty of the American family farm.
Farm Aid takes the stage in St. Louis, Missouri, October 4, to raise money for their cause – to prevent the loss of American farms and to keep farm families on their land. Since 1985, Farm Aid has raised $35 million and provides farmers with a resource network of family farm organizations across the country. In celebration of the family farm enter your photos — to be judged by Singer/Songwriter Jason Mraz, Photographer Paul Natkin, Farm Aid President Willie Nelson and Executive Director Cayolyn Mugar — and get friends and family to vote for your entry.
Visit to see the 400 pictures entered in the contest; they are inspiring, and show a real panorama of life on American farms.
If you don’t want to enter the contest, vote for my picture, and put me in that front row seat! Linda’s Willie Doll Pic.
