Pittsville After School 4-H Club members celebrated National Devils Food Cake Day by learning how to pipe buttercream frosting. They did a FANTASTIC job following directions and piping their creative ideas. A sweet time was had by all!

Did you get a postcard in the mail advertising a new platbook this week? Don't be fooled . . .
Only the Wood County 4-H Plat Book provides you with great information while supporting youth development right here in our communities. This 4-H fundraiser supports Summer Camp, Creative Arts Day, Project Discover Day, and so much more! AND, another bonus - ours is just $35!

The competitor is selling theirs for $45 and sales DON'T benefit local youth.

The choice for a high quality plat book is clear - Wood County 4-H!

Books are available at Chasteen Insurance in Pittsville, First State Bank in Auburndale and Wisconsin Rapids, Marshfield Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MACCI), and at the Extension Office in Wisconsin Rapids.

Thanks so much for your support!

Congratulations, Deanna on earning 3rd place in the Wisconsin 4-H Photography Contest!!!

Deanna said, "This photo was taken while traveling to Disney World. Taking this photo, I was focused on the shadows created by the angles of the structure, as well as the placement of the edge of the structure across the sky."

Deanna will be invited to display this photograph at the Summer Academy Art Show this June.

Way to go, Deanna!
