Colby Chamber looking for new state farm wife
The Colby Chamber of Commerce is seeking candidates to serve as the fifth “Wisconsin Farm Wife of the Year.”
Applications for the annual contest may be submitted by family members, organizations or the candidate herself.
Applications will be accepted through March 15. Forms are available at Colby businesses, from any county home economist, or by writing the Colby Chamber of Commerce, Box 444, Colby, 54421.
The chamber said that since the Wisconsin Farm Wife plays such as important role in the development of the family farm operation, the group again wants to give her a chance to tell her story.
The winner will be announced on March 31. She will receive a $300 cash prize and gift certificates, and will be guest of honor at an April 25 banquet at the Sword in Colby, where the Wisconsin secretary of agriculture will be the main speaker.
The chamber will also pay travel expenses for the title holder to attend Farm Progress Days, the Wisconsin State Fair, Colby Cheese Days and other activities.
The application will include general information and descriptions of the candidate’s involvement in both the managerial and physical aspects of the farm operation, plus a description of the farm’s growth.
Another section of the application deals with the candidate’s involvement in farm-related projects and organizations as well as other community groups. A description of the applicant’s educational and family involvement will also be requested.
