4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning Leadership, Citizenship, and Life Skills.
SPRING TIME
Spring time is a coming, it’s just around the bend;
get out that old fishing rod and a fishing tale to spin.
Spring time is a coming, heat up that barbeque,
and I will cook a big beef steak or two.
Spring time is a coming, it’s just around the bend,
and soon the Canada Goose will be here again.
Spring time is a coming and the bugs are too!
get out a fly swatter for me and you;
Spring time is a coming; I can’t wait,
to have a barbecued trout lying on my plate!

The Wood Creek 4-H club started out this month with a 4-H meeting on Sunday, March 4th
and played a new game called 'Fruit Basket'. It was fun! On Monday there was a Jr. Leaders
meeting. We talked about some up-coming activities like the Project Day and what we would
like to do this summer. There was also the Cultural Arts Festival/Communications Contest
on the last day of March. Many Wood Creek 4-H club members took part in a mini drama and
other various competitions. That was a fun day for everyone!

UW-Madison Saddle & Sirloin Badger Bonanza Lamb Show
Mark your calendar for this year’s Badger Bonanza Lamb Show on May 6, 2012! As in prior years, the double-header show will take place at the Public Events Center in Arlington, WI.
Each year, the UW-Madison Saddle & Sirloin Club hosts the Badger Bonanza Lamb Show. The show draws youth and their lambs from Wisconsin and surrounding states. The Badger Bonanza Lamb Show provides youth with a chance to get their lambs into the show ring early in the season.
The Badger Bonanza is a sanctioned show by the Wisconsin Club Lamb Association (WCLA). The show is also open to non-WCLA members. For more information on WCLA sanctioned shows visit www.wisconsinclublambassociation.com.
The UW-Madison Saddle & Sirloin Club hopes to encourage youth, teach them responsibility and generate interest in animal agriculture through hosting the show.
The grand and reserve champion lambs from each show will be awarded cash prizes. Class payouts will be similar as past years and showmanship classes will be offered with prizes awarded to the winners of each age category.
For more information contact Amanda Veum at [email protected] or 608-289-3124.
