The Clark County Agricultural Society is offering a matching grant program for improvements to be done on the Clark County Fairgrounds.  The funds should be used for projects that will enhance the experience for fairgoers.  This could include purchase of equipment to be used exclusively at the fairgrounds, building or grounds improvement costs, or contracted labor to complete work on the fairgrounds.  Requests for matching funds up to $10,000 will be considered.  These grant funds are competitive and applications will be evaluated at the May meeting of the Clark County Agricultural Society.

If your organization has an idea for fairground improvements and you would like to submit a request click on the link below.  Applications are due May 10, 2012.

MISSION

With an office in each Wisconsin county, Cooperative Extension
develops practical educational programs tailored to local needs
and based on university knowledge and research.                       

County-based Extension educators are University of Wisconsin
faculty and staff who are experts in agriculture and agribusiness,
community and economic development, natural resources, family
living, 4-H, and youth development.                       

Extension county-based faculty and staff live and work with
the people they serve in communities across the state. Extension
specialists work on UW System campuses where they access current
research and knowledge. Collaboration between county and campus
faculty is the hallmark of Cooperative Extension in Wisconsin.
