Those three days in July may have been three years ago, but the legacy of Kewaunee County’s edition of Wisconsin Farm Technology Days remains prevalent in the peninsula. Money raised during the annual event has gone to fund projects like park improvements in northern Door County and the construction of an ice rink in Kewaunee. The committee also established $60,000 in scholarships for students looking to continue their education. FTD Executive Committee Secretary Aerica Bjustrom says these specific scholarships are for students on the back end of their post-secondary education.
Algoma’s Michael Moede, Denmark’s Jeremy Schlies, Kewaunee’s Brynne Wolfe, Mishicot’s Molly Thorne, and Luxemburg-Casco’s Taylor Paye and Kimberly Van Donsel are this year’s recipients. The $6,000 awarded this year is part of a 10-year, $60,000 commitment to support area graduates.
