The Bureau County Farm Bureau hosted the winners of the Annual Placemat Design Contest at The Barn at Hornbaker Gardens on March 24, 2023. The event is held in conjunction with the Salute to Ag Breakfast sponsored by the Princeton Camber of Commerce during National Ag week. Third grade students from around Bureau County were asked to create placemats with the theme “What Agriculture Means to Me”. The Farm Bureau collected 121 entries from all over the county this year. Two prizes were awarded for Best of Show and Best use of Theme. Each of the winners, their parents and their teachers were invited to be recognized at the breakfast, held at The Barn at Hornbaker Gardens just outside of Princeton on the morning of March 24. “Thank you to all the students that participated, we had so many excellent drawings!!”
