Dorchester
Farm Bureau Ambassador

Shelby Elliott

Hi, my name is Shelby Elliott, the daughter of Mark and Mary Elliott of Vienna, Maryland. I am a senior at Cambridge South Dorchester High School where I participate in many after-school activities. I am a member of the Cambridge Vikings Swim Team and take dance at the Eastern Shore Dance Academy.

During the summer and some weekends, I help my grandparents on their poultry farm. My greatest pleasure is spending time with my family and friends.

When I became the Dorchester Farm Bureau Ambassador I had no idea how much I would learn or how much fun was involved. In late August I had the privilege of competing in Timonium with 21 other young ladies from around Maryland in hopes of becoming Miss Maryland Agriculture. During the competition there were adventures, trips and opportunities that will never be forgotten. Meeting the other young ladies from the various counties across the state was great and I have made some “forever friends.”

Part of my ambassador duties this past summer was attending the Caroline-Dorchester County Fair to help serve dinners and present the awards for the talent show. I am excited to continue my role as Dorchester Farm Bureau Ambassador and I’m really looking forward to participating in the Cambridge and Hurlock Christmas parades and attending the Maryland Farm Bureau Meeting in Ocean City.

I highly recommend that all young farmers take advantage of this opportunity. You will have lots of fun as well as have a great learning experience.
