4-H Happenings

It was a victory for the Dunn County 4-H members who attended the Fourth Annual Night at the Races at the Red Cedar Speedway on Friday, August 14. The Red Cedar Speedway went above and beyond by generously providing free admission to 4-H members, plus a pre-race party with food, lawn games and fun activities. During the race, they sat in their own section and had the honor of going onto the infield to recite the 4-H Pledge.

On August 17, during a Dunn County 4-H Youth Activities Council trip to the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, eight Dunn County 4-H members had a unique experience rescuing endangered native freshwater mussels. Because of record low water levels and drought conditions, native freshwater mussels are being stranded on the St. Croix River’s dry shores and shallow rock pockets. These exposed mussels face severe risks of dehydration and stress due to lack of water or high water temperatures. The 4-H members demonstrated the fourth part of the 4-H pledge, “My hands to larger service” by assisting the park ranger in relocating the mussels into deeper water.

If you live in Dunn County and don’t want to miss out on 4-H activities like these, join Dunn County 4-H today. For more information about these events, contact Zachary Rozmiarek at 715-232-1636 or visit the Facebook page.
