    Hello Hollar Here,

    As we start off on our NEW YEAR EXPEDITION I feel I should share some Hollar Philosophy of inspiration, determination, and constipation (opps I mean consternation)!

    When possible be the windshield, not the bug. Be the bat, not the ball. Be the honey not the bee sting. Watch where you step when walking in a cow pasture, pockets of cow patties dot the field. You will never win when pitted against a Holstein bull, walk away alive, rather than duke it out and die (unless you have a rifle and are a really, really, really good shot). Never touch an electric fence without visually seeing if the fencer is plugged in or not plugged in. Finally, do not test the cattle prod on yourself to see if it is working, that is the start of a real bad day.

    Have a great start to the new year and Go CTY Clark 4-H! Hollar Out

    It’s time to start thinking about 4-H Art Beat!

    4-H Art Beat! was created for 4-H members in grades 3-5 and their parents and leaders and is the introductory program for Wisconsin 4-H Arts and Communication! Art Beat! will be held March 17—18, 2017, at our State 4-H Camp, Upham Woods in the Wisconsin Dells. The weekend will feature a look at a variety of arts projects including music, drama, visual arts, and more!

    4-H members will explore their own creativity while discovering the great variety of 4-H Arts & Communication experiences available to them now and in the near future. Session leaders will be 4-H older youth, adult leaders and 4-H staff members with a wealth of experience to share. Youth and adult participants will rotate through a variety of sessions which are hands-on and active and held at various sites throughout camp. Both youth and adult participants stay in the warm and cozy heated cabins! All adults will be considered camp chaperones. Camp begins Friday evening at 7:00 p.m. and ends Saturday afternoon at 3:00 p.m.

    The $50.00 fee will include all materials and supplies, (including a very cool ArtBeat! backpack!) special snacks, overnight lodging and breakfast and lunch on Saturday. Why not get a whole carload of youth and adults together from your county for some genuine 4-H bonding time? Come join the excitement of this opportunity available to some of our youngest (and often most enthusiastic!) 4-H members!

    Register early! This camp fills up fast! Registration deadline is February 10, 2017.
