Our own Jennie!

"Meat" Jennie! Jennie has been with the Sorg family for 25 years. Jennie first started working in the retail area helping customers in any way needed. She is also very involved in scheduling harvest appointments and taking custom processing orders. She is key in our scheduling area and keeps things running smoothly year round. Sorgs also works with numerous fairs throughout the summer and Jennie organizes all of the scheduling with members of the fair committees as well. Three years ago, Jennie transitioned into the processing area where she is now wrapping, labeling, and keeping all of our paper work and records for each order organized. Jennie is involved in the entire process from start to finish from calling the farmer to confirm appointments, helping take cutting instructions to wrapping and keeping records. Jennie has been married for 25 years and has 3 children. In her spare time, Jennie loves to make jams and jellies. Jennie also has a farm where her family raises cattle, goats and have most recently added a new puppy to the household. Thank you Jennie for all your hard work and for keeping us here at Sorgs organized!

Heidi Skindingsrude Wood posted the following on Memorial Day. The baptismal font at First English Lutheran Church was given as a memorial to Eddie Skindingsrude, Jr.

"Today on Memorial Day, I am remembering Eddie Skindingsrude Jr who gave his life on Dec. 25th, 1944 while on a bombing mission over Trier, Germany. Eddie was a tail gunner on the B17 "Blonde Bombshell" which was hit by German 88mm flak three times. Eddie's body was returned home years later and is buried in Hillside Cemetery. Thank you Eddie for your ultimate sacrifice and may you rest in peace. Remember that Memorial Day commemorates those killed in action while serving our country in military action. Freedom isn't free. It was paid for by the servicemen and women who paid by their service and sacrifice. God speed."
