Six top candidates will soon wrap up their extensive interview process to become the 76th Alice in Dairyland. The Alice in Dairyland finals are May 11-13 in Walworth County. Today we hear from top candidate Shannon Lamb of Dane.
Lamb grew up on her family’s diversified production farm and was heavily involved in FFA and 4-H, which allowed her to show livestock throughout Wisconsin. Achieving a Bachelor of Science in Soil and Crop Science, Environmental Horticulture, and Animal Science with a minor in Biology from the University of Wisconsin–Platteville, Lamb currently attends the University of Missouri for her Master of Science in Biological Engineering. She remains active on the family farm by feeding the calves each night.
In 2021, she served as the Lodi Agricultural Fairest of the Fair, and in 2022 went on to be the Wisconsin Honey Queen. She says she’s hoping to take these experiences with her to the next level as Alice.
Since March, the six candidates participated in a rigorous interview process that will allow them to showcase the communications and public relations skills required to be Alice in Dairyland. Although only one of the top candidates ultimately will be selected as the next Alice in Dairyland, the personal growth experienced by all the candidates as a result of the process will carry far into their future careers.
The Alice in Dairyland Finals are scheduled for May 11-13 in Walworth County. The three-day process includes agribusiness tours, media interviews, an impromptu question and answer session, individual interviews, and candidate presentations. The selection of the 76th Alice in Dairyland will be announced during the program at the conclusion of the finals on May 13. The 76th Alice in Dairyland will begin her term on July 5.
