The Baldwin County Farmers Federation will host a meet-and-greet for statewide and local candidates the group has endorsed on April 13.

The event is scheduled from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Baldwin County Federation Building, 21332 AL-59 in Robertsdale. Admission is free and open to the public, a news release regarding the event said.

"We expect a huge turnout for this event," Baldwin County Farmers Federation President and Alabama Farmers Federation Southwest Vice President Hope Cassebaum said. "This is an excellent opportunity for people to hear from our endorsed candidates and get to know them personally, as well as learn about the issues that are important to them."
