Chairwoman Jane Griswold and captains Andy Pennington and Tammy Strauss are planning a great party on March 27. As a lead-up to this year's party, we will be holding a trivia contest in honor of the 80th Hoard's Dairyman Cow Judging Contest and the 125th Anniversary of Hoard's Dairyman. The contest is quite simple; for each question you get correct, your name will be entered into a drawing for raffle prizes at the March 27 Cow Judging Contest party. For employees living outside Wisconsin, you are eligible to win quiz prizes even though you are unable to attend the event. For those of you living in the Badger State, you must be present to win.
