The Pierce County 4-H Historical workgroup is looking for your help. The committee, composed of 4-H alumni Dean Bergseng, Carol Gilbertson, Ron Thompson, Jack Hines, and Beth Ingli are working on a permanent 4-H display. The display would be in the Seyforth Building at the Pierce County Fairgrounds, with photos and memorabilia from 1921 until 2021 celebrating the rich 100-year history of 4-H in Pierce County. It is the committee's hope to have this display ready for the 2023 fair.  The committee will be working with the Pierce County Historical Association, as a resource, on this project.

It's a good time to do some spring cleaning and look for things from the past 10 decades of the 1920's, 1930's, 1940's,1950's, 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, 2000's and 2010's. Don't be afraid to ask your grandparents, parents, relatives, and your neighbors who have been in the Pierce County 4-H program.

If any current 4-H families know of anyone that has any photos, old 4-H record books, club secretary books, scrapbooks, along with 4-H club history, from the past 100 years, please contact Dean Bergseng at 715-307-4976 or Beth Ingli at 715-639-2630. You may also drop off items for the permanent display at the Pierce County UWEX office by June 1.
