"Alice in Dairyland is one of the most recognizable figures in Wisconsin agriculture. The impact of Alice's work to educate audiences across the state about our vibrant, diverse agriculture industry cannot be overstated," said DATCP Secretary-designee Randy Romanski. "DATCP is proud to serve as the home of this long-standing, proud Wisconsin tradition. We look forward to an exciting year ahead as Dane County prepares to host the landmark 75th Alice in Dairyland Finals."
In keeping with previous years, 74th Alice in Dairyland Julia Nunes will attend numerous events in the host county throughout the coming year to promote its agricultural industry and the events leading up to the selection of the 75th Alice in Dairyland.
Meanwhile, applications for the 75th Alice in Dairyland will be made available after the holiday season.
