Help preserve Pierce County 4-H history

Posted

The Pierce County 4-H Historical workgroup has been meeting and working on collecting photos and memorabilia from 1921 until 2021. The committee will be purchasing displays to showcase the historical pictures, newspaper articles and historical items collected. We are looking for monetary donations to help with these purchases. The displays will cost $3,000 and will be in the Seyforth Building at the Pierce County Fairgrounds this year, then placed in the Pierce County Courthouse Annex by the Pierce County 4-H office the rest of the year for the public to look at. 

The workgroup is working with Julie Huebel and the Pierce County Historical Association in making a pictorial DVD from photos collected over the past 100 years from the fair and 4-H activities. This collection of pictures will be available to watch during the fair.

If anyone would like to help with the purchase of these displays, you may mail your donation to: Beth Ingli, N5535 290th St, Elmwood, WI  54740. Checks can be made payable to “Pierce County 4-H Alumni.”

If you know of anyone that has any Pierce County Fair or 4-H photos from the past 100 years, please contact Dean Bergseng at 715-307-4976 or Beth Ingli at 715-639-2630. Thank you for your support.
