Edna Schrandt honored for her contributions to the Winneshiek County Fair

Edna Schrandt joined the Winneshiek County Agricultural Association Board in 1992.  The board is responsible for running the Winneshiek County Fair.

Every year since then, she's been a fixture at the fairgrounds, becoming Business Manager of the Fair Board in 1997.  Current Board President Becky Winkler says Schrandt has brought in over $500,000 in sponsorships of the Fair in her 27 years working with the board.

This year will be her last year--officially--working with the board.  A celebration of those 27 years took place--where else?--at the Fairgrounds this week.  Edna and her children and grandchildren enjoyed a piece of cake and heard stories about the contributions she had made.

It's not just the Fair which benefits from her work--Edna has been active in volunteering for the 4-H, United Way, Saddle Club, Pony Express and many other community causes.
