Thursday, June 29, 2023, will go down as a special day for the Dauphin Agricultural Society as they hosted their Sponsorship Appreciation Luncheon inside the Aspen Lodge.
On top of the great lunch that was served, a few different awards were handed out.
Emma Fox and Grace Van Bukenhout were presented with the Dauphin Ag Society Scholarship. There were eight applicants for this year's scholarship and Terron says Emma and Grace are very deserving.
"They had some phenomenal marks throughout school and they really stood out," said Terron Stykalo, president. "They are also very involved in the community so we are very happy to select them."
Moving ahead, Brian and Wendy Damsgaard were presented with the Richard Beyette Memorial Volunteer Award.
"It's a very special award that was created in memory of Richard Beyette who did so many amazing things for our community," said Stykalo. "There is no two people more deserving than Brian and Wendy to win this award."
The Ag Society also presented the Queen's Jubilee Medal to Brian Damsgaard.
"This is one that you get voted on and it's recognized nationally across the country," offered Stykalo. "It's a very prestigious award and I know Brian will take great pride in it, he certainly deserves it."
Overall, a great crowd was in attendance for the luncheon and Stykalo was thrilled with how things turned out.
"It was amazing to see so many familiar faces from throughout the community that continues to support the ag community and our fair," ended Stykalo. "It was a moment for us to recognize the amazing people in our community. We truly appreciate all of the amazing support that we receive."
