"I'm George W. Bush and I approve this 10th anniversary celebration of Henry Kraft Incorporated." said Brent Mendenhall. He was impersonating President George W. Bush at Henry Kraft's 10 Anniversary Trade Expo held on May 4 at the Nevada Elks Bingo Hall.

Featured at the tradeshow were many of the company's current manufacturers and their representatives. There was a restroom cleaning procedure class in the morning, and other various product demonstrations throughout the day were given by Henry Kraft, Inc.'s manufacturers.

A free lunch was catered to those in attendance, along with door prizes and free giveaways. Mendenhall offered his "presidential" speech. After lunch, an opportunity to have pictures taken with "the president" in front of a patriotic background was also available free of charge.

Henry Kraft, Inc. was founded in 1889 providing grocers in the Nevada/Vernon county area with some of the finest fresh produce available. Three generations of Krafts later, in, 1994, the company was purchased by the current owners, Roger and Becky Bruder.
