The Matrimony Grange has been ranked among the nation's top-10 Granges by a panel of judges reviewing the community and farm improvement programs carried out by Grange chapters nationwide. 

The selection assures Matrimony of at least $500 prize money and a chance to win the $15,000 grand prize. Judges will visit each of the top-10 units before announcing the national winner. 

This is the third straight year the Matrimony Grange has made the final 10. In the past year, its 105 members invested 7,200 volunteer hours of work for community betterment through 17 different projects.
