The proceeds from the food stand directly fund youth trips and serving a shift is an important part of giving back to your community. This can be during your normally scheduled club shift or some other time. Information will be sent out in the summer to choose the dates and times you will be working. Preference for the following year’s trip and award selection will be given to those who meet this requirement.

Youth interested in showing market sheep, market swine OR breeding stock (commercial crossbred gilts/wether type ewes & rams) at the 2017 Wisconsin State Fair Junior Show will need to have their animal projects DNA/RFID identified by the State Fair eligibility deadlines listed below. This identification system allows animals which are DNA/RFID identified through the Wisconsin Livestock Identification Consortium (WLIC) County and State Fair program to meet State Fair Identification requirements if the process is completed (all forms returned and samples on file) by the Wisconsin State Fair identification deadline postmarks listed.
Market Sheep and Market Swine DNA/RFID identification deadlines (postmark): Sheep: Monday – May 8, 2017 Swine: Monday – May 8, 2017 *Breeding stock: crossbred gilts/wether type ewes & rams DNA/RFID identification deadline(postmark): Wednesday – June 7, 2017 (postmark)
*Breeding stock being shown in the crossbred, or wether type divisions MUST HAVE DNA submitted even if they are registered with a National Breed Organization (i.e. a registered Hereford gilt with registration papers being shown in the Crossbred Gilt division). *Please Note: Breeding stock with National Breed Organization Registra-tion Papers being shown in the breed divisions DO NOT Need to be DNA/RFID identified through WLIC. (ie. a registered Duroc gilt with registration papers being shown in the Duroc Division does not need to be DNA/RFID identified.)
Market Animals Only: WLIC is coordinating a statewide DNA/RFID identification program for Wisconsin County
and State Fairs.
How do I get my animals identified? DNA/RFID tag identification is only available by going to the WLIC web-site at www.wiid.org. Click on the text “Learn More” under “DNA Program” (lower left-hand side). Print out, complete and mail the request form with payment to WLIC. Make sure DNA and required paperwork is returned to WLIC by the Wisconsin State Fair identification postmark deadlines listed above.
How much will DNA/RFID identification cost? $11 per animal identified for required DNA/RFID tag identifica-tion. If your animal has an existing 840 RFID ear tag you can purchase and submit a DNA envelope separately for $6.00. Be sure to list the existing RFID ear tag number on the paperwork and DNA submission.
Will my County DNA/RFID tag qualify for Wisconsin State Fair? Wisconsin State Fair will accept all DNA/RFID samples submitted through WLIC by the Wisconsin State Fair identification deadline postmark. Samples received after the Wisconsin State Fair identification deadline postmark will be accepted; however, the animal associated with the samples will have limited State Fair eligibility. Visit the WLIC website (www.wiid.org) to verify which counties are participating in the statewide DNA/RFID identification program.
Should I notify Wisconsin State Fair that my animal has been DNA/RFID identified? You DO NOT have to notify Wisconsin State Fair at time of identification. Wisconsin State Fair will receive all animal identification doc-umentation from WLIC after the Wisconsin State Fair DNA/RFID identification postmark deadlines. Potential ex-hibitors are required to submit their Fair entries (online or paper) prior to the June entry deadlines by entering di-rectly with Wisconsin State Fair. DNA/RFID identification is NOT your entry to the Fair.
What if my County is not participating in the statewide DNA/RFID program? No problem! Request Wiscon-sin State Fair DNA/RFID identification through WLIC. Make sure DNA and required paperwork is returned to WLIC by the Wisconsin State Fair identification deadline postmark listed above. If your county is not participating check with them for their requirement deadlines. Questions related to the DNA/RFID identification process con-tact: WLIC [email protected] – 888.808.1910 Questions related to Wisconsin State Fair or entry procedures contact: [email protected] or 414.266.7000

4-H Programs and Events
WI 4-H Arts Camp Wants You!!
Do you have a passion for the arts? Are you ready to lead? Do you want to help 4-Hers GROW? We have the opportunity for you. Wisconsin 4-H has a camp that is all about “ART” in its many forms. This is the annual WI 4-H Arts Camp, and the leadership needs you to be a counselor. Arts Camp Counselors lead middle school youth through a weekend of arts exploration. There are two counselor roles, there are Art Track Counselors and Activity Counselors. Both are vital to a successful Arts Camp Experience. Art Track Counselors work together in a group of 3-5 to plan a one hour experience about an art form that interests them most. They then share the experience multiple times with separate groups of middle school campers. This role lets you express your creativity and share your passion of a par-ticular art type and teaching with the campers. It requires planning, facilitation skills and follow through.
Activity Counselors lead separate groups of middle school campers to the many tracks. They keep campers involved in camp and engaged in all the FUN! They are also responsible for cabin time activi-ties, as well, as other less structured times at camp. There are many fun and exciting “activities” that Activity Counselors oversee. The role of Activity Counselor allows you to have tons of fun with middle school 4-Hers as well as experience many kinds of arts activities. It requires patience in working with middle school youth, a willingness to interact and engage with campers and energy and enthusiasm!
This year, the WI 4-H Arts Camp Adult Resource Leader and Camp Counselor Applications and En-rollment, will be through 4H Online. If you are interested in applying, please read all the information and application instructions on the Arts Camp Website at: http://fyi.uwex.edu/wi4harts/arts-camp-counselor-info/ and then proceed to 4H Online at your family’s member list. On the bottom are two sets of pull down menus, the second set is for enrollment in events. Arts Camp is an event in that menu. Click register and fill out the information requested. This year’s WI 4-H Arts Camp Staff will be notified in Mid-July and the first planning weekend is scheduled for August 25-26 at Upham Woods. WI 4-H Arts Camp will be held the weekend of October 6-8.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Joshua Goede, Monroe County 4-H Youth De-velopment Educator and this year’s WI 4-H Arts Camp Director at [email protected] or 608.269.8722 or Amber Rehberg, WI 4-H Educational Program Specialist at [email protected] or 608.262.1557.
Don’t miss this great opportunity to further develop your leadership skills and share your interests and enthusiasm for the “ARTS!”

Funding requests
Jaydin Guza, Horse Camp, requesting $50.
Rylie Guza, Horse Camp, requesting $50
Forms were filled out completely and interview was conducted.
Discussion was had with horse project leader, Connie Guza. There have been a variety of amounts of
money requested for horse camp funding requests. Connie verified that the camp costs $100. Transpor-
tation costs are minimal and she feels that families don’t need to be reimbursed milage unless they are
doing extra hauling for others. Camping price is minimal as well. Therefore, Connie recommended that
all funding requests for horse camp be adjusted to $50.
No further formal meeting was held. Discussion of future agenda items was discussed as well as when
the next meeting should take place.
Conclusion
Meeting concluded at 7:02 p.m. by president, Brian. Next meeting TBD.

Leader’s Board Funding Request Process:
We are publishing the funding request information and form. With new people always coming into the 4
-H program, we want everyone aware of the process to request funds for 4-H camps, trips, and educa-
tional activities. This information can also be found on the Trempealeau County website. Please read
through at your convenience. Instructions-Funding Request Form
The Trempealeau County 4-H Leaders Executive Board includes money in their budget to help defray
some costs of 4-H educational trips or activities in which Trempealeau County 4-H members and lead-
ers participate. The amount the Association is able to contribute in a given year depends on the success
of fund raising efforts, the amounts spent in other budget areas, and the number of applicants and lev-
el of requests.
A “Funding Request Form” has been developed for use when an individual or group is requesting mone-
tary support. Only 4-H Sponsored Events will be considered for reimbursement. Use of the form will
provide a consistent, concise approach for obtaining information. Once the Committee engages in dis-
cussion relative to the request, the requestor may be asked to leave the meeting and will be notified by
phone or mail of the Committee’s decision.
The 4-H Leaders Executive Board will evaluate the request and the applicant is asked to follow the
guidelines listed below. Currently, the Leaders Executive Board meets every month except December.
The form should be completed and turned in to the Extension office prior to the Executive Board
meeting and prior to participation in the trip or activity.
Please answer all questions completely so your request receives full attention. Individuals that receive
over $100.00 for a single event are expected to make a live presentation/action center or visual display
at one or more of the following events: Performing Arts Festival, Clover College, County Fair and/or
Summer Picnic. We would like individuals who receive funding for State Teams or major award trips to
help encourage participation in these activities. Participants may be asked to present information about
their experience following the trip or activity. The cost of events not specifically sponsored or co-
sponsored by 4-H or the Trempealeau County 4-H Leaders Executive Board will not be reimbursed. A
general club leader's signature is required before sending in the request form to the extension office.
If you should have questions about the form or the dates of the Executive Board meetings, please call
the Extension office at 715-538-2311 x210.

$30.00 and under ~ Completed “Funding Request Form” sent to the UW-Extension office 7 days pri-
or to Executive Board Meeting and optional in person request at the monthly Leaders Executive
Board Meeting.
