The Washington County Pork Producers Association was recently named the state’s best for a pork promotion last year. The award came from the Iowa Pork Producers Association for Washington County’s association sponsoring the Zach Johnson Foundation Classic Luncheon and Gala in Cedar Rapids last June. Local representatives worked with a chef to select and source the pork for the golf professionals and celebrities who participated. A pork entree was served to more than 600 attendees.
