After graduation, she plans to focus on photography and party planning. Stangler is active in Catholic Student Coalition, Habitat for Humanity and the UW-Whitewater Marching Band.

“When I was little, the

Fairest of the Fair was a role model to me, and I really want to be a role model for the FFA and 4H kids.”

Warmka, 20, is the daughter of Russ and Laura Warmka of Fox Lake. She attends UW-Madison majoring in dairy science.

She is involved in many collegiate organizations such as Association of Women in Agriculture, National Agri-Marketing Association, Badger Dairy Club and Sigma Alpha. She was recently honored as a 2014 Holstein Association USA National Distinguished Junior Member Semifinalist.

Holstein Futurity a formal affair

The Dodge County Holstein Futurity, well known for its quality Holstein cattle and formal atmosphere, will be held Aug. 16 during the Dodge County Fair starting at 12:30 p.m.

“Holstein breeders enter animals as calves and show the same animals as two-year-old cows, after they’ve had their first calf,” said Dori Lichty, futurity planning committee member. “During the show, exhibitors parade their cows wearing formal attire; and every year, the show arena is filled to standing-room only with spectators.”

To enter in the Dodge County Holstein Futurity, owners must nominate their Holsteins by submitting a fee, per animal, when they’re only calves.

“Monies received from the nominations make up the purse of any one year and is divided as prize money among participating exhibitors,” added Lichty. “Sponsorships from area businesses help purchase awards, decorations, etc., too.”

For more information on the Dodge County Holstein Futurity, search for Dodge County Holstein Futurity on Facebook.

Commodity game fun and educational

Dodge County 4-H teen leaders will help “steer” youth in the right direction at the Dodge County Fair this year through a new Commodity Carnival game that walks young people through the steps of bringing steer and cattle to market.

Located in the Family Farm Adventure Tent, the interactive game helps young people understand the economics of agriculture — from balancing the costs of feed, labor, transportation and electricity to preparing for changes in weather, new regulations and other unforeseen obstacles.

New this year, families will be able to access the Commodity Carnival game online and as a new

downloadable app from their mobile devices.

Run by 4-H youth leaders, Commodity Carnival educates participants in two phases.

In the first phase, youth are tasked with “raising” a steer — balancing the costs of feed, health and nutrition, production and energy and resources.

Once ready for market, the steer is weighed and the participant drops a disc down a Plinko-style board, with pegs representing elements beyond the youth’s control — parasites, bad weather, health news, government regulations and seasonal demands. At the end of the activity, the participant obtains an increased understanding of the commodities market.

For more information, visit www.cmegroup. com/4hcarnival.

Time to test canning pressure gauge It is time to test your dial gauge pressure canner.

Pattie Carroll, Dodge County UW-Extension Family Living Educator, said, “If you have a dial gauge canner, it should be tested every year for accuracy.”

Accurate dial gauge readings ensure proper canning temperatures. Proper canning temperatures destroy

harmful bacteria and toxins, which provides safe healthy food for your family and friends.

Carroll will be at the Dodge County Fair to answer questions on food preservation and food safety and test dial gauge canners.

Just bring your pressure canner lid with dial gauge and gasket to the UWEX

display on the Youth Building on Aug. 13 between 2 and 4 p.m. and Aug. 17 between 3 and 4 p.m.

“Food safety is, and should be, a primary concern when preserving food at home, from freezing peas to drying of apples. The extension service sets itself apart in providing researchbased information,” Carroll said.

For more information about dial gauge pressure canner testing, safe food preservation and other family living programs, contact the Dodge County UWExtension office at 3863790, visit http://dodge. uwex.edu/ or connect on Facebook. More information on safe food preservation is also available online at www.foodsafety.wisc.edu.
