It has been a busy month for our 4-H Youth.

First, they had a chance to shine at UW-Stout 4-H STEM Days where they made Lithophane light boxes. The instructors at UW-Stout’s “Fab Lab” demonstrated to the group how to 3D print photographs and laser cut wood pieces to make their boxes. Plus, they gave the 4-H’ers a chance to do some soldering on their own.

Then, the Dunn County 4-H Youth did an outstanding job at the Tri-County (Dunn, Chippewa and Eau Claire) 4-H and Demonstration Festival held at the Elk Mound High School on January 31. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the efforts the 4-H youth put into their presentations and we are grateful to be able to collaborate with the Elk Mound School District to allow us to use their facilities. We are looking forward to the Tri-County Performing Arts Festival also at Elk Mound High School on March 7 where 4-H youth will showcase their music and dramatic abilities.

We are delighted to offer an “Around the World in 80 Minutes” spring break program to all Dunn County Youth in grades K-4. Youth will make suitcases, get passports and “travel” to different places around the world making instruments, doing crafts, and playing games.

In Menomonie it will be held on March 18 from 10:30 am until Noon. Registration for Dunn County 4-H members opened February 1; registration for non 4-H members is now open. Registration for both sessions will close on March 9th. The sessions are limited to 20, so sign up soon.
