The Estevan Chamber of Commerce is holding nominations for this year's Farm Family of the year award. The award is a way for the Ag community to come together and recognize one deserving farm family. Jackie Wall with the Chamber of Commerce helped fill us in on some of the details. 

"The Estevan Chamber along with our Farm Family Committee every year works on our farm family dinner. Its a great opportunity for the farming community, the Ag community to come together and celebrate a worthy farm family and name them to the farm family of the year, so we're looking for nominations right now you can contact the chamber to get a nomination package or we have them also on our website."

The winner of the award is not only named Farm Family of the Year but is also treated to Dinner and some presentations. Jackie Wall.

"There is an amazing dinner, we are finalizing the speaker in the next week or so, so we will have a guest speaker as well. Of course we hear from our farm family winner and we also  have all the finalist from all the local 4-H clubs that have been putting on their speech competitions right now,  they have a public speaking competition every year and so the winners from each 4-H club will get to come that evening and they also get to present their speeches in front of the farm family community."

it sounds like its going to be a big night for everyone involved and it seems like the only thing left to do now is nominate that deserving farm family. It's not just for Estevan farm family's anyone from the southeast corner can be nominated as Jackie wall explains.

"I just encourage people to think of that farm family in there area, it's not just exclusive to of course Estevan or the RM of Estevan it's much much broader than that. we have contacted all the local RM's where we are looking for winners and there's quite a list of them. so if you have someone in mind please let us know."

Nominations for Farm Family of the Year end March 1st  with the dinner taking place March 26th at the Days Inn, in Estevan.
