Club Awarded Two YAR Grants for Arena Improvements:
On Monday, April 9, 2007, several members of the Wab. Co. 4-H Horse
Club met in Alma to make their case to the Youth As Resources (YAR)
committee for two $300 grant applications. First up, Taylor
Nikkel, Anna Carpenter and Halen Hier presented an application
requesting $300 in order to make additional repairs and improvements
to the Mill Creek Cowboys' Arena. On the list were making the
announcer's booth pigeon proof, repairing gates and finishing the
painting. Next up were Sam Capoun, Britt Michaelis and Laura
Carpenter. Their project entailed additional tree plantings at
the Arena in order to provide much needed shade for exhibitors,
parents and community spectators. With the improvements made
last year, our arena will be in tip-top shape!
In addition, Club members Cooper Imthurn and Heath Hier applied for
grants as part of their respective community 4-H clubs to make
improvements at a local pre-school. All
4 applications were each awarded $300 grants!
Thanks to parents Janice Nikkel, who wrote the grant applications,
Stephanie Imthurn, Tonia Michaelis, Nancy Hier and Barb Downey, all of
whom helped the kids prep and successfully present their proposals.
