Evansville declared "Soybean Capital of Wisconsin"

"Soybean Festival" scheduled for October 20th

Evansville is proud of their heritage as the center for most of the soybean production in the State of Wisconsin. The community is sponsoring a "Soybean Festival" in the schools the week of October 15-20th, with a community-wide celebration to be held at the High School on Saturday, October 20th.

This festival is focused primarily upon education and promises to have something to offer the entire family. Attendees will learn about soybeans and soy products, with ample opportunity to taste various food items made from soybeans. Tours will be conducted to local farm fields to witness the soybean harvest, with a swing past the construction site where North Prairie Productions is building a 45 million gallon per year capacity biodiesel plant that will convert soy oil into renewable biodiesel.

Pack up the kids and join with us on October 20th as we help celebrate Evansville's heritage as "The Soybean Capital of Wisconsin."
