KELSEYVILLE – California’s 1st District Congressional Representative Mike Thompson, has been scheduled to replace A.G. Kawamura as the keynote speaker at the Lake County Farm Bureau’s 87th annual meeting and dinner, to be held July 8.

There will be a wine social starting at 5:30 p.m. sponsored by the Lake County Winery Association.
