(Wisconsin) As she crisscrosses Wisconsin, the state’s Alice in Dairyland Ashley Hagenow is reviewing her list and checking it twice this Holiday season.
The Poynette native is busy promoting the Something Special from Wisconsin Program as a good way to purchase gifts for those special people on your Christmas list. Some of those Wisconsin made products she recently highlighted included scented candles including one that smells like a Brandy Old Fashioned, books on Wisconsin Farming, Kettle Corn, Trail Bars, Dog treats, and more.
She says there are hundreds of products available for purchase made by small businesses in the state. She urges residents to look for the Something Special from Wisconsin logo. Hagenow notes to earn that logo, 50 percent of a product’s ingredients, production or packaging has to take place in Wisconsin. She urges residents to shop locally and buy gifts made in Wisconsin to support their communities and those that produce them.
A full list of the Something Special members can be found on the internet at Something Special WI.com. The Dodge County-area’s most recent connection to Alice in Dairyland was in 2010. Christine Lindner of Fall River, who grew up on her family’s farm just outside of Beaver Dam, was the state’s 63rd Alice.
