The 5th Annual Northeast Nebraska Ag Banquet will be at 5:30 pm, June 20, 2019 at the Madison County fairgrounds.
The event recognizes area producers and ag business in Madison, Antelope, Wayne, Pierce, Stanton, Boone and northern Platte counties for their contributions to the economic well-being of our communities. The banquet emphasizes the link between the business and agricultural communities. Open to the public, tickets are available through the Norfolk Chamber office. This annual event features a social hour, dinner, and a keynote speaker.
The Norfolk Area Chamber of Commerce and Agri-Business Council are happy to welcome University of Nebraska-Lincoln Athletic Director, Bill Moos, as a special/guest speaker and Shana Beattie, 2018 Ag-Ceptional Woman of the Year, will also be a featured speaker at this year’s event.
The primary focus of this event is to recognize and award area youth with continuing agri-business education scholarships. In the last four years, scholarships totaling $13,000 have been awarded to 18 deserving area high school seniors and college students. Several deserving students, as well as the previous year’s Norfolk Beef Expo scholarship recipient, will be presented scholarships towards furthering their ag-related education that evening. It is the Council’s goal to continue growing this event in order to increase the number and dollar amounts of scholarships awarded.
