The annual event that celebrates the agriculture industry in the Southeast is back for another year.  Hosted by the Estevan Chamber of Commerce, the Farm Family of the Year Awards have been confirmed for 2017. 

"We have a date set for the event. It will be held on March 9th this year. We've already had some preliminary meetings for the event and we're sending out more information soon," expressed Executive Director Jackie Wall. 

"It's an opportunity to really celebrate a farm family who has made significant contributions, not only in our community, but to the farming industry. The event also gives us a chance to recognize the agriculture sector and how important it is in the Southeast."

With that said, she mentioned that there are some preparations that need to be done before the show. 

"We have everything in place for the evening. We're looking for nominees so that a farm family can be chosen. We're also looking for a guest speaker and some of the entertainment. Finally, sponsorship and tickets sales are being dealt with," she explained. 

She's asking the public to fill out the nomination sheet on the Chamber's website and send it back to them to help them make a decision.
