Door County 4-H Newsletter |
Hello Door County 4-H Families and Volunteers!
I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather. I know that many of you are busy wrapping up the school year and preparing for Summer. It's hard to believe, but in just a few months, it will be Fair time! Both the Door County 4-H Adult Leaders Association and the Door County Fair Board are hard at work making sure that this year's Fair will be a success.
I am also excited to announce that we will have a Positive Youth Development Intern joining our office this summer. Josie Kinnard will be joining us starting on June 2nd through the end of August. Please be sure to give her a warm welcome if you see her around!
In this newsletter, you will find Fair related information, Key Award applications, and information on a fun 4-H Night at a Green Bay Blizzards Game!
I hope you all enjoy the last few days of school and the start of summer!

Door County Quality Market Animal Sale (QMAS): There are several important dates and requirements that must be completed to participate in the QMAS Auction during the Fair. Check out their website: https://www.dcqmas.org/ for additional information.
- IMPORTANT: Premise ID Registration and Renewal: If you are planning to exhibit animals at the Fair, be sure that you have a Premise ID. This is REQUIRED for all exhibitors of beef, dairy, sheep, swine, horse, poultry and goats.
-
A Premise ID is completely free to obtain and is mandatory for all owners of livestock in Wisconsin. Premises registration allows for much faster traces when there is an outbreak of an animal disease or an animal-borne human disease.
-
Take care of this important step now so you are ready at Fair time! If you already have a Premise ID, check to make sure that it does not need to be renewed this year.
-
Visit https://wiid.org/premises-registration-renewal/ to obtain a Premise ID and for answers to additional questions.
