Today kicks off the three-day Alice in Dairyland final interview process happening in Walworth County. Six top candidates are competing for the title of the 76th Alice in Dairyland. And they’ve been preparing for this finale since they were announced as candidates in March. Today we hear from one of the finalists Charitee Seebecker of Mauston.
Seebecker grew up on a family-owned dairy farm. After transitioning away from the farm, she turned to 4-H and FFA to ignite her passion for agriculture. She attended UW-Platteville and currently works as a farm broadcaster at the Mid-West Farm Report. Serving as the official ambassador for Wisconsin’s farmers and processors would be a dream come true for Seebecker. Alice in Dairyland has been a role model for Seebecker since she was young, and she wants to be a role model for others by making it fun to learn about Wisconsin’s diverse agriculture industry.
She says Alice motivated her to tell her unique agricultural story, which she tells us today:
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.
