Becker Farms Community Outreach Initiatives Continue with Trunk or Treat on Sunday, October 30

Becker Farms, a 340 acre working fruit and vegetable farm, continues its community outreach with Trunk or Treat this Sunday, October 30th from 1-4 PM by offering a safe way for families to celebrate Halloween.  A $5 donation per person includes admission to the grounds, access to all kids’ activities including the playground, mega slide, corn maze, petting zoo, and more, plus live music at the farm.  All proceeds go back to the fire halls.

In partnership with Terry’s Corners Vol. Fire Company, Gasport Chemical Hose Company, and Hartland Vol. Company, fire trucks and ambulances will be on hand, decorated, and ready to give out Halloween treats. Contests will be held for Best Kids Costume, Best Adult Costume, and Best Trunk, with three winners for each category.  Prizes of all levels include specialty items from Becker Farms and Vizcarra Vineyards, and the first place Best Trunk wins a free wine party for 20 guests.

Other community outreach activities include the Becker Farms Booster Weekend, where booster groups used a special promo code and $5 of every ticket was donated back to that group; and Pie Fundraising, where groups can reach their fundraising goals by selling pies and fudge through Becker Farms.  So far, Becker Farms donated approximately $660 to 10 area nonprofits over the Labor Day weekend, and continues to welcome groups for fundraising opportunities.  The Pie Fundraising initiative works for both small and large organizations and is a simple process which includes choosing a delivery date, distributing order forms, submitting the order, and receiving the pies or fudge just in time for the holidays.  To learn more visit https://www.beckerfarms.com/fundraising-c1rkh or email bakery.beckerfarms@gmail.com.

Amanda Vizcarra, 5th generation family member and Hospitality Director, is proud to help local groups fundraise in a variety of ways.  “Becker Farms is part of the Gasport and surrounding area, and it is important that we give back to our community through events like the Booster Weekend, Pie Fundraiser initiative, and Trunk or Treat.  Our Trunk or Treat afternoon on October 30th is a great way for families to come out and celebrate Halloween safely together.”

‘You said you hated it’: Kristi Noem’s latest attempt to spin dog slaughter backfires



South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has come out with a new way to spin her story about killing a family dog that she said she "hated."

In a new tweet posted on Thursday morning, Noem claimed that the news media had taken her out of context when it accurately reported that she killed a 14-month old dog that she described as "less than worthless... as a hunting dog."

"Don’t believe the fake news media’s twisted spin," she said. "I had a choice between the safety of my children and an animal who had a history of attacking people and killing livestock. I chose my kids."

Of course, Noem described her feelings for the dog in a much more personal nature, as former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) pointed out in response to her post.

"What??" Kinzinger wrote. "You said you hated the dog."

Kinzinger went on to accuse Noem of trying to rewrite history.

"Don’t let her get away with this," he said. "She told the story because she thought you would be impressed. Now she’s trying to rewrite it."

Some other Noem followers also cast doubt on her latest attempt at spin.

"While it hasn't worked for anyone else, Kristi Noem is convinced she can tweet though it," commented The Daily Beast's Justin Baragona.

"As the saying now goes, If you want a friend in Washington, don’t kill your dog in South Dakota," commented national security expert Mark Toth. "Not a political comment. Rather, as anyone who knows me, I am a huge fan of cats and dogs. Noem had plenty of other humane options."

Noem did find at least one prominent defender, however: Disgraced Rep. George Santos (R-NY), who is under criminal indictment on multiple campaign fraud charges.

"A lot of people didn’t listen when I said there was more to the story," wrote Santos. "Again, I’ve been really struggling with the whole situation but, I know Gov Noem and I know she’s a good human being. As I said before non of us are perfect and we all might make decisions we aren’t particularly proud of later… we are flawed because we are human."
