In 2015, the year that marked the 100^th anniversary of the Cercles de Fermières du Québec, the Fermières de Saint-Eustache hosted the Fédération 16 Regional Conference for all the Cercles in the region. For Johanne Désormeaux, the president of the Cercle that year (on the left in the photo) and her team, this involved a lot of organization. Accommodation, reception, venues, food, schedules… The organizers had to think of everything. Despite the heavy workload, they were very proud to have put together such an event.
