Farm Tech Days's lasting legacy extends to education

The three days you have may have spent in Algoma nearly eight years ago continues to have a positive impact on the community. Kewaunee County hosted the 2017 Wisconsin Farm Technology Days at Ebert Enterprises, bringing thousands to the area for the three day agriculture show. The event not only opened the eyes of potential repeat visitors, but also raised tens of thousands of dollars that have been put back into the communities that supported it. In addition to building a warming shelter at Kewaunee Winter Park for the Dana Farm Ice Rink, event proceeds have also awarded several $1,000 scholarships to students at Algoma, Kewaunee, Luxemburg-Casco, Denmark, Southern Door, and Mishicot over the last six years as they hope to distribute approximately $60,000 over a ten-year period. Kewaunee County Farm Technology Days Executive Committee Member Aerica Bjurstrom is proud to see how one event will provide support in the community that will last decades.

 

The application, which is open to area students who are beyond the first half of their post-secondary education journey (3rd or 4th year of college, the second year of a two-year program, the second half of a program, or in a graduate program), is open now through April 15th.
