WEST ALLIS, WI – The Wisconsin State Fair is proud to have recognized the Sander family of rural Woodville, Wisconsin as a 100-year honoree.
Wendy Sander said, “My mother, Eula Casper, moved on to the farm when she was three years old. The family farm place has been continuously under family ownership for 100 years in 2025!
The Century Farm Awards Program began in 1948 as part of Wisconsin’s Centennial Celebration. The program honors families who have had continuous ownership of their Wisconsin farm or home for 100 years or more.
