Lost Dauphin has been a pillar in our Brown County 4-H community for the last 75 years. Lost Dauphin 4-H club meets year around and over the years has been involved in many different projects including but not limited to showing animals like beef cattle, goats, rabbits, poultry, and horses; photography, wood working, and clothing to name a few. They also are involved in Creative Arts Festival, which includes play, music, and speaking events. They always participate in Game day and other Brown County 4-H activities. They have members that go to education experiences all over the country and have members on the State 4-H Art team and Wisconsin Leadership Council. They have been active in their community doing food drives, making holiday cards/gifts, caroling at the local senior center, bell ringing, and making care packages for military, homeless, and pet shelters. They also have youth working at the fair food stands, having a brat barn, or bussing tables at Pizza Ranch to raise money for their club activities.
Lost Dauphin has been educating our youth for the last 75 years, teaching them through a hands-on approach of growing life skills like confidence, independence, resilience, compassion, developed through experience and learning. Lost Dauphin empowers young people to be true leaders who work well with others, have confidence, and can persevere through challenges and stick with the job until it is done. This club brings in speakers and tries to educate youth on activities such as bee keeping, winter container gardening, Child Life at HSHS St. Vincent Hospital, or even touring an alpaca farm.
This club has had members in multiple generations who have come back to help as volunteers or leaders, sharing their passion with the younger generations and continuing the club’s legacy. Sharing their passion with the younger generations. It has been 75 years, and Lost Dauphin is still going strong. We want to recognize their legacy and congratulate them on their 75 years of service and many more to come.
Our club continues to help develop children into responsible citizens. Lately we have had members go on trips with the state and be involved in Fall Forum, one member on Wisconsin Leadership Council and another on State 4-H Art team. We also have a family that, for several years, has hosted international chaperones through 4-H summer programs.
