Throughout the evening, attendees were able to make new contacts and renew connections with longtime friends, as well as share with the representatives of Indiana\u2019s Congressional delegation and the General Assembly how Indiana\u2019s poultry industry strengthens individual communities and the state as whole. The banquet menu was, of course, all about poultry recipes, beginning with duck wontons and duck quesadillas as appetizers. The main course featured several gourmet stations with such poultry laced dishes as made-to-order omelets, noodles, salads, kabobs, and street tacos.  Additionally, the \u201cClassic Tastes Station\u201d consisted of a mashed potato bar with delectable toppings that included herb roasted chicken and turkey bacon.  A dessert station rounded-out the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ISPA banquet provided an important opportunity to share about new testing available at the ADDL,\u201d Kelly said. The event also served as a means of thanking the many dedicated elected officials and public servants whose ongoing support is essential to nurturing Indiana\u2019s poultry producers and helping the industry thrive and grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
