Summer 2010:
Introducing Miss Zoe Milburn, age 16, recently crowned Miss Cecil County Farm Bureau. Next up for Zoe was competing at the state level, where she took 2nd runner up against 22 other counties. Zoe is the first representative from Cecil County to sit on the court in many years! Way to go Zoe!...Zoe is also an honor roll student at Elkton Christian Academy. We are all so VERY proud of her. You may want to congratulate her yourself...you will often see her working along side her father, Nathan Milburn, or grandfather, Evan Milburn, in our U-Pick adventure fields.
