Take a Seat at Farm Technology Days

Laura McNamara

Wisconsin’s largest outdoor farm show now has ample seating for attendees. As part of a lesson in mass production, Wrightstown High School Tech produced 50 park benches in one day. The benches will be used at the 2008 Wisconsin Farm Technology Days held July 15-17, 2008, at Country Aire Farms.

“These benches were hand made out of treated lumber – 2 x 6s and 5/4-inch deck boards,” explains Youth Committee Chair Marty Nackers. “The park benches will be used during Farm Technology Days for seating in the stage area of the Youth Tent.”

Each bench is for sale as a fund raiser for the Brown County show organizers. The cost is for $50 per bench and they must be picked up the last day of the show, Thursday, July 17, between 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Orders will be filled while supplies last and payment is due on or before July 10.

Those interested in ordering a park bench can download an order form from the 2008 Wisconsin Farm Technology Days web site. Click “Brown County,” then “Park Benches.”
