STORAGE TAKE-OUT
ATTENTION: STORAGE TAKE-OUT
While we understand this is a difficult and uncertain time, we are trying to stay positive and move forward with plans, for storage take-out. Over the next several days you will receive a call from out storage supervisor, Ben DeGross, requesting that you come and pick-up your stored item. At this time by request of St. Croix County Health Department, we are trying to facilitate storage removal by appointment, moving from the front of the buildings to the back of the buildings, prior to our initial storage take-out day.
We will continue monitoring the situation and we will update both Facebook and our Website with any changes to the initial plan. Again, at this time please plan to remove your Winter Storage item(s) by assigned times only. No late penalties will be assessed this year, until after May 16, 2020.
Fairest Represents at Annual Convention
Moor represents St. Croix County Fair at
Wisconsin Association of Fairs convention
Wisc Dells — Annually during the St. Croix County Fair a Fairest of the Fair is crowned on Thursday evening. During the reign of the St. Croix County Fairest of the Fair, it is their responsibility to participate in the Wisconsin Association of Fairs Convention and the Wisconsin Fairest of the Fair competition. The Wisconsin Association of Fairs Convention is an opportunity for fairs throughout the state of Wisconsin to collaborate on a variety of issues and topics to continue to improve their county fair. Among the educational experiences offered, each county’s Fairest of the Fair competes for the title of Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs.
Jessica Moor is the 2019 St. Croix County Fairest of the Fair. Below she recaps her experience at this year’s Wisconsin Fairest of the Fair competition and the Wisconsin Association of Fairs convention.
From January fifth through eighth, I was able to experience the Wisconsin Fairs Convention at the Chula Vista Resort, in the Wisconsin Dells. During this time, the convention consisted of vast people from across the state of Wisconsin sharing a passion for their own fairs, collaborating on improvements, and articulating new ideas. Workshops were held daily with a variety of topics for all convention attendees. With over one thousand convention attendees, thirty-six of those were representatives running for the 2020 Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs.
During this four day competition, I was able to complete self-introductions, event announcing, preliminary questionnaires, an auction fundraiser, and a radio spot! Throughout all of this, I was able to make my way into the top ten final contestants and earn the spot of third runner-up for the title of Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs.
Through this experience, I was not only able to highlight our county and surrounding communities but acquire a sense of professional development through the courses provided to the contestants. I was able to hear from influential guest speakers such as Alyssa Bohm (Miss Wisconsin), Abigail Martin (Alice in Dairyland), Kathleen O’Leary (Wisconsin State Fair CEO). This experience was truly incredible; I got to meet new lifelong friends and bring back to our county new ideas for the St. Croix County Fairest of the Fair program. I am truly thrilled to experience my second half of my reign as your 2019-2020 St. Croix County Fairest of the Fair!
