Granger of the Year

During the 152nd State Session, the Pennsylvania State Grange recognized Bonnie Casselberry as the 2024 Pennsylvania State Grange Granger of the Year. This recognition is one of the highest honors bestowed by the Pennsylvania State Grange, and was announced during the All-Granger Banquet on Sunday evening, October 20.
“Bonnie is known across the state for her selflessness, as well as her dedication to her family, community and the Grange. We collectively congratulate her, and extend our gratitude for her faithful service,” said Matt Espenshade, President of the Pennsylvania State Grange.
Casselberry serves as the Liberty Grange #1780 Secretary. She is an Executive Committee member of the Lawrence County Pomona Grange, and has served as the Lawrence Junior Grange Leader, a program for Grange members between the ages of 5 and 14. “Bonnie Casselberry is an amazing daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and Granger. I am totally awed by Bonnie’s ability to get things done,” said Mary McMillin, a fellow member of Liberty Grange.
Bonnie has long been a dedicated Granger and advocate. She has spoken at public forums on critical Grange policy in regard to rapid and unchecked solar panel farm expansion. She has also been leading the effort to have the Liberty Grange Hall registered for tax exempt status, which is permitted by recent changes to the Pennsylvania fiscal code.
She has also been an avid fundraiser for Liberty Grange #1780, helping coordinate soup sales,
the annual Bunny brunch, and other events to support the community. Growing up active in the
Junior Grange herself, Bonnie led the effort to reestablish a County Junior Grange program, and
continues to be active today working with the Juniors.
Bonnie has been married for over 40 years to George Casselberry and they raised two sons
Georgie and Joe.
