This year the event will be honoring Steven Kirk with Rural Neighborhoods, formerly as the Everglades Community Association, and Everal Miller, agriculture teacher, with William H. Turner Technical Arts High School.

The tour and luncheon are $50 per person. The luncheon only is $30 per person. Lunch will be at the Everglades Housing Group Community Center.
