Horse Project Meeting

We are looking forward to the exciting year ahead for the Marathon County Horse Project. To get it started we want to invite you to the first Horse Project Meeting of the year! November 14th at 6:30 pm, at the extension office in Wausau. We will have hands-on activities and learning opportunities for youth to explore and get to create connections with each other.  

Please fill out this google form to register for the event by November 11th –  https://bit.ly/HorseNov

We can’t run this project by ourselves! Are you interested in sharing some horse education at this meeting or joining the newly revised Marathon County 4-H Horse Committee?  Then fill out the attached google form. https://bit.ly/4-HHorseTeach

Any questions, please reach out to Erin Sabo (esabo2@wisc.edu) 

Quilting Club

Quilting Club is continuing this fall as a block of the month club!

Each month members will be introduced to a quilt block, discuss the history of the block, and sew their own block. All fabric and supplies will be provided, but you can bring your own sewing machine if you prefer. By spring, members that attend all the sessions will have enough blocks for a lap quilt. If fewer sessions are attended, there should be enough blocks for a table runner, or you can take supplies to create the missing blocks on your own.
