The 38th annual Washington County Breakfast on the Farm was a big success on Saturday, June 13. Iron Ridge Dairy, in Kewaskum was the host farm.
3,800 people were served, 10,000 pancakes were made along with 440 dozen eggs and 700 pounds of sausage. It also included 5,000 half milk pints and 120 pounds of strawberries.
Washington County Dairy Promotion Committee President Ellen Schaefer addressed the crowd during a plaque presentation for the host family.
"The breakfast is one of our big fundraisers. Part of that funding goes toward next year's breakfast and to our Ag Ambassador, Leah Weninger. We also sponsor Ag Adventureland at the Washington County Fair."
