Auxiliary News By Datonn Hanke, vice president, WPGA
Hi all. Happy August! We hope your summer didn’t fly by too quickly and you were able to enjoy time with family and friends.
We’re having a very busy summer, and it kicked off with our Annual Banquet in June. It was a fun-filled night beginning with our board meeting, then we had a State Fair
meeting followed by our Annual Meeting and a delicious dinner. Our banquet was held at the beautiful Bula Barn, in Antigo, and it was so wonderful to catch up and see everyone. We had a great turnout, so thank you to all who made it. Our Annual Banquet is when we vote in new board members if we have anyone that’s finishing their term, and we also elect officers. Marie Reid and Jody Baginski, two amazing ladies who do so much for the State Fair, Kids Dig Wisconsin Potatoes program, and every program that the Auxiliary has, had to step down this year after fulfilling their terms. Above: After elections held during the Annual Banquet, the 2022-’23 Wisconsin Potato Growers Auxiliary Board of Directors are, from left to right, Brittany Bula (president), Devin Zarda, Datonn Hanke (vice president), Becky Wysocki and Heidi Schleicher (secretary/treasurer). Inset are Board Directors Erin Baginski (left) and Misti Ward (right).
