The Sauk County Dairy Promoters are sponsoring a “Saw Cow” design contest for all 4-H clubs, FFA and other youth groups at the Sauk County Fair. Use your imagination and creativity to convert a sawhorse into a “Saw Cow”. Include dairy facts and this year’s fair theme in your design. Limited to one “Cow” per group. Make sure your groups name is visible. All “Cows” must be in place by 6:00 PM on Wednesday, July 9th in front of the Dairy Promoters Booth (across from the 4-H Food Stand). Once judged, the “Cows” will be displayed around the fair to be enjoyed by the public. “Cows” will be released on Sunday after 4PM. Cash Prizes will be available! As you are building your cows – remember you need to transport and move them, as well as the fact that the “cows” will be outside for the entire fair and will be exposed to all the elements. For more information, please contact Angel Acker at 608-393-6037.
