After spending Thursday and a portion of Friday touring spots around the area, the six candidates vying for the title of Alice in Dairyland got to interact directly with community members at the Door County Gala for the Wisconsin Products Showcase. Fox Lake’s Cierra Essock, Oconomowoc’s Halei Heinzel, Denmark’s Katrina Hoesley, Kewaunee’s Kiley Pagel, Kiel’s Lauren Siemers, and Big Bend’s Michaela King are all in the running for the role and spent Friday night featuring Wisconsin-produced products like Christmas trees, honey, maple syrup, ginseng, snapbeans, and cherries. Candidates provided samples and answers to attendees checking out their displays.
Candidates also took turns answering impromptu questions, covering issues in agriculture, topics fourth graders would want to know about, and Door County.
The Wisconsin Products Showcase is one of the final activities the candidates will participate in before the finale on Saturday.
