Dane & Columbia Counties Purple Ribbon Fund

Donation protected
With the unfortunate cancellations of the Dane CountyFair, Columbia County Fair, Stoughton Fair, and Lodi Agricultural Fair, a group of parents from both Dane and Columbia Counties (WI)  have gathered forces to organize a one-day jackpot show -- The Dane & Columbia Youth Livestock Expo (DCYLE) --  to be held on July 18th, 2020 at the Iowa County Fairgrounds in Mineral Point, WI. 

(Yes, we had to move to a neighboring county to rent a fairgrounds, and yes, our event is fast approaching)

This show is open to all youth livestock members residing in Dane and Columbia Counties that normally show and sell at the fairs listed above. The majority of the kids that exhibit at these shows and participate in county fair livestock projects depend on the livestock sale to help them fund life-changing opportunities --  traditional college or trade school tuition, start-up equipment or breeding stock to start their career in agriculture and production livestock, help pay the current year's feed bill or just to purchase next year's project. 

Since the kids no longer have an opportunity to sell at an organized county or community livestock sale, the parent organizers have created the DCYLE Purple Ribbon Fund.  After costs are covered, 100% of the Purple Ribbon Fund will be distributed to the market livestock exhibitors that have stayed the course and remain committed to caring for their market steers,  market barrows/gilts, and market lambs.  Just as the kids remain committed to their livestock, our parent group remains committed to them.   

If you believe in the value and importance of supporting youth livestock projects -- including ours in Dane and Columbia counties, please consider donating.   Your donation is greatly appreciated -- especially in the Summer of 2020.
