Fair Clean-up and Fair Gate Fundraiser

These fundraising activities are a GREAT way for youth and entire families to serve the community by helping out with different aspects of the WI Valley Fair 4-H Fair and to raise funds for youth events at Highland at the same time. Fair Clean-up participants meet at the grandstands of the fairgrounds at Marathon Park at 6:30 a.m. each day of the fair to have fun (yes it is possible to work and have fun) cleaning the grandstand area. Breakfast is then served back at the church for anyone participating. Smoothies anyone? Fair Gate workers sign-up to work a 4 hour shift at the 17th Avenue fair gate (collecting money) and everyone participating in these fundraisers receives free admission to the fair on the days they work.

Youth Cake Auction

Youth make a cake and a poster detailing items that they have solicited from businesses in order to make a complete "cake package". In the past, these packages have included hotel stays, baby sitting, golfing passes, sports tickets, hunting trips, sports memorabilia, and stampin parties to mention a few. The youth provide a soup lunch and everyone is invited to stay for lunch and the auction that follows. There are also silent auction items available for everyone's price range. This is fun fundraiser for the whole family. This event occurs in March of every year.
