The scholarship recipients will be announced during the
13th annual Logan County Ag Day Scholarship Breakfast on Thursday,
March 22, at 7 a.m. at Lincoln Christian University's Laughlin
Center. One of the most important parts of this event is
the awarding of scholarships to our future agricultural leaders. The
scholarship breakfast is also a great networking opportunity for the ag and business community to come together.
The ag scholarships are made possible through generous
sponsorships from community businesses. Local businesses partner
together to support and sustain agriculture awareness in our
community. In the 13-year history of the Ag Day Scholarship
Breakfast, $67,000 in scholarships has been awarded to deserving
local students.
The Ag Day event is free to all Logan County residents. It is hosted by
the chamber's ag committee and made possible by local business
sponsors. Along with the community breakfast, there is an
informative program. Anyone interested in attending may make
reservations by calling the chamber at 217-735-2385.
