Auxiliary News By Datonn Hanke, vice president, WPGA
Hello, everyone, and happy February! It’s hard
to believe we’re one month into the new year, and it will be planting time before we know it. I’d like to take this month’s article a step back, however, and chat with you about the Christmas party we had in December. The Wisconsin
Potato Growers Auxiliary (WPGA) held its party, December 13, at Wysocki Family Farms in Bancroft, right before the hustle and bustle
of the holidays. We all had so much fun dressing up in our ugly Christmas sweaters and taking part in a cookie exchange, and it was a wonderful networking opportunity to come together and chat with everyone. It was also a great reminder to our members that, while the WPGA might work extremely hard to promote and educate the importance of Wisconsin potatoes, we also love to meet with other like-minded people passionate about the industry. Above: In attendance at the Wisconsin Potato Growers Auxiliary Christmas party were, standing, from left to right, Brittany Bula, Ashley Kertis, Lynn Isherwood, Marie Reid, Sarah Agena, Liz Wysocki, Jackie Sigourney, Maryann Hensel, Datonn Hanke and Allison Wysocki; and kneeling, left to right, Linda Kertis, Diane Wysocki, Becky Wysocki, Heidi Schleicher and Devin Zarda.
