The Mike Bertelsen Project

I had the pleasure of attending Henry County Treasurer Rich VerHeecke's Annual Corn Boil at the park in Geneseo. Rich and I are good friends and he is the campaign's Henry County coordinator. There were about 200 people there and I felt right at home. I saw several folks I had met before and met many new people too. The event was capped off by a pie auction which supported a local charity. Great event Rich!!

The pictures are: Rich and I, Terry Patton, Henry County State's Attorney and I, Tim Wells, candidate for Henry County Board and an excellent supporter, Don Moffitt, 94th State representative and I and Tim Bivins, State Senator 45th District and I.

We know by now about the storm that ravaged our area on July21st. I was sorry to hear that my good friend and colleague Rich VerHeecke's place got hit hard. Rich is the Henry County Treasurer and a farmer that lives west of Geneseo on Route 6. Rich is the campaign's county coordinator too.

I was told that his place won't look the same and the pictures tell that story. Thankfully no major damage was done to the house or nearby buildings. He lost a lot of good shade trees though.
