The Minnesota 4-H Dairy Showcase organizing committee says plans are well underway for the annual event, including the final phase of the annual fundraising drive. The event, held Aug. 24 at the AgStar Arena on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, will celebrate its sixth year since beginning in 2009.
The showcase recognizes the dedication, involvement and passion of Minnesota’s top dairy youth. Donors make monetary contributions that represent their organization’s support in the future of the Minnesota dairy industry. Donors are invited to a celebration brunch prior to the event, are at the event to present awards to the 4-H’ers, and are recognized throughout event promotional efforts.
Donor levels include Bulk Tank ($2,500 and up), Milk Can ($1,000 to $2,499), Gallon ($500 to $999), Quart ($250 to $499) and Pint (up to $249). The committee is pleased to recognize AgStar Financial Services and the Gopher Dairy Club who have already committed to being a Bulk Tank donor this year by donating $2,500 each.
Contributions for this year’s event will be accepted until July 31. To make a contribution, email Steve Pooch, fundraising chairman. PD
