Owen Roberts (University of Guelph, Canadian Farm Writers' Federation, IFAJ) registers for the congress. If not for him, I might have never made it to the congress. We arrived on the same flight and he flagged down a cab to take us, and Chuck and Cindy Zimmerman from the United States, to the hotel.

Owen Roberts and Christina Lombard (Alltech) present me with the IFAJ-Alltech Young Leaders in Agricultural Journalism Award. For more info, visit Alltech's website.
Once the annual delegates' meeting ended, we toured the city of Graz. Our Austrian guide, Gudrun Haas, has a passion for the region and its people. She was very enthusiastic about the city and that energy was contagious. I couldn't get enough of the sights, sounds and smells of Graz - mural-covered buildings, renaissance architecture, traditional Austrian folk music, roasted chesnuts.
