The 77th Alice in Dairyland field will be narrowed to six women this week in Door County. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) will announce the finalists at the Landmark Resort in Egg Harbor on Friday.
Denise Plassmeyer, the chair of the Alice in Dairyland 2024 Finals Steering Committee, shares the significance of having Door County host this event and the finals on May 4th.
The final six qualified candidates will attend training and professional development seminars at DATCP and are given several assignments to complete before the final interviews in May.
The first Alice in Dairyland was crowned in 1948 to celebrate Wisconsin's 100th anniversary as a state and highlight Wisconsin's proud agricultural tradition.
Current Alice in Dairyland Ashley Hagenow shares her favorite parts of Door County since visiting over nine times in the past year.
You can meet Hagenow and support the program at a fundraising meat raffle at Apple Valley Lanes in Sturgeon Bay on March 9 from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m.
