Cass County 4-H Adopt-A-Building Program
The Cass County 4-H Association has elected to offer an annual 4-H Adopt-A-Building Program. This program is being initiated to help renovate existing buildings, construct new facilities, and provide funds for infrastructure updates.
Through this Adopt-A-Building program support, an increase in educational and youth development opportunities will be afforded to our 4-H members.
Several community organizations and service groups have benefited from the recent improvements made to our Cass County 4-H fairgrounds. Last year, the facilities at the fairgrounds were used over 360 times and the demands for use continue to rise.
We look forward to the continued challenge of maintaining and improving the Cass County 4-H Fairground facilities. Future goals include having an official Master Plan for the fairgrounds so future projects will be prioritized and provide the 4-H Assn. with the direction for project completion.
Enclosed is a form for your commitment to this new program. Also, enclosed is a listing of some of the expenses to our 4-H Assn. Adopt-A-Building sponsorship is for a one-year commitment with a financial payment of $250 per building. You will need to list which building (s) you would like to “Adopt”. Each sponsor of the building will have a sign with their name/business attached near the main entrance of the building for one full year. Please return your sponsor form by May 1, 2019. If you have questions, feel free to contact 4-H Director, Josh LeDonne, 574-721-0312.
Buildings to Sponsor:
- Horse & Pony Barn
- Swine Barn
- Sheep/Goat/Llama Barn
- Cattle Barn
- Poultry/Rabbit Barn
- 4-H Exhibition Building (show arena)

Cass County 4-H Entertainment Club
Thank you for considering a donation to the Cass County 4-H Entertainment Club. Our appreciation goes out to each and every one of you for your future and past support of the Cass County 4-H Association. Some people in our community have expressed an interest to support the entertainment provided during the week of the fair. Thus, we have formed the Cass County 4-H Entertainment Club!
We are constantly working to improve the Cass County 4-H Fair. As you may or may not know each night during fair week, we provide a variety of entertainment. What you may not know is that very little of the entertainment is free. Two of years ago, we began featuring up and coming country music artists. Money raised from the concerts will be used to upgrade the tractor pull area where the concerts are preformed, the other nightly entertainments, and helping meet the needs of the general fund. We believe that this will continue to be an area that will provide much needed operating funds.
However, as with all endeavors there is a cost involved. As mentioned above the nightly entertainment is a cost to the Fair Association. Donations to the Entertainment Club will help defer these costs and add to the profitability of the concerts.
Through your contribution you are rewarded as well:
- Donations of $500 – $999 will receive 2 tickets to the concert and your name on a sign at the fair
- Donations of $1,000 – $4,999 will receive 4 tickets to the concert and your name on a sign at the fair and on our schedule
- Donations of $5,000 and above will receive 6 tickets to the concert and your name on a sign at the fair, on our schedule, and in all of livestock programs
Remember, your donation is tax deductible…
Donations must be received by May 1, 2019 to be included in all of the promotions. Donations after that date will receive as much recognition as possible.
