New this year at the Dodge County Fair!
This year we will be having a scavenger hunt online using the Goosechase app. Earn points by answering questions, taking pictures, and visiting different parts of the Dodge County Fair. Different missions are worth different point values. There are some missions that can be done anytime during the fair. Others, however, can only be done at certain times. So please make sure to check out all the missions and plan accordingly!

If you don’t know the answer to some of the questions, ask other 4-Hers or an adult volunteer for help. This scavenger hunt requires you create or join a team. Teams can be a group or just yourself. Make sure to limit the number of participants in your team to 5 maximum.

How to participate in the Goosechase:

1. Download the Goosechase App
2. Create an account
3. Join the experience (there are two ways to join, pick one!)
- Search “Dodge County Fair 2023!”
- Use join code “6XQM86”
4. Create or join a team
- To create a team: pick a team name and a team password
- To join a team: click on your team name and enter the team password
5. Wait patiently for the fair to begin!

The chase will begin on entry day at 7:00pm and will go until Sunday at noon. Top teams will earn a prize!

Happy chasing!

National Night Out Opportunity

Sinissippi 4-H invites fellow 4-H members to bring an animal to host a small animal station at the annual National Night Out at the Hustisford Community Hall (outdoors) on Monday, August 7th from 5-8pm.

Great way to earn any last minute points on your Activity cards or get practice speaking to the public with your animal! Small animals only (calf, rabbit, lamb, goat, poultry, Guinea pig, etc).

Our club will also be hosting an activity booth there with Dairy games, prizes, and face painting!
