Julie Hines, Register of Deeds for Pierce County, announced that applications are now available at the Register of Deeds Office, as well as the UW Extension Office of Pierce County for the 2018 Century and Sesquicentennial Farm and Home Award, a prestigious award given to families who have dedicated their life to Wisconsin farming for 100 or 150 years.
The 2018 Wisconsin State Fair will take place on Thursday, Aug. 2 through Sunday, Aug.12,
2018 at the Wisconsin State Fair Park in West Allis.
To qualify for the award, families are required to provide proof of continuous family ownership of a property in the state of Wisconsin for either the last 100 or 150 years. All property owners will be honored at a special Century and Sesquicentennial Farm and Home Award Program held on Tuesday, Aug. 7 in conjunction with the 2018 Wisconsin State Fair.
Honorees will receive complimentary fair admission tickets, an invitation to the awards breakfast, a commemorative photo and certificate, as well as an outdoor display sign.
The Century Farm and Home program began in 1948 in conjunction with the State of Wisconsin's Centennial Celebration. There are currently 9,344 Century Farms and Homes nestled throughout the Badger State. The Sesquicentennial program originated in 1998 as part
of the State's Sesquicentennial Celebration and has since honored 836 families!
