Green County 4-H, FFA seeking donations to purchase arena
MONROE - Members of the Green County 4-H/FFA horse project are seeking donations from area business and individuals to purchase an arena for the Green County Fairgrounds.
In previous years, showing of horses was held on the grass infield in the fairgrounds, fenced off by plastic snow fence held up by metal t-posts. Both the grass infield and plastic snow fence are unsafe.
Green County 4-H has improved the show area on the fairgrounds by eliminating the use of the snow fence and borrowing arena panels from Oregon Farm Supply and Rock County 4-H, as well as adding a sand surface.
The group raised $1,500 to purchase their own arena panels. The group has priced an arena for about $4,500, which is for 60 panels for the portable arena. The cost for each individual panel is $72.
Any donation is tax deductible. To donate, make checks payable to Green County 4-H Adult Leaders with "horse arena" in the memo line. Donations can be given to members or mailed to UW-Extension.
More information is available by contacting Rob Ready at (608) 513-7728.

Aging & Disability Resource Center announces new program
MONROE - The Aging and Disability Resource Center of Southwest Wisconsin announced a new program called LEEPS, which stands for Language Enriched Exercise Plus Socialization.
LEEPS is an exercise and social outing program for people with memory loss.
The program provides a low-impact exercise plan combined with mental exercises and stimulation, as well as social involvement that may help participants feel better by improving their physical abilities and mood.
LEEPS is a research study through the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It is funded by a federal grant, and there is no cost to participants. Right now, they're looking for two types of volunteers - one to participate in the program and one to partner with the participant to oversee the exercise and social aspects of the program. No special skills are required to volunteer, and training and support is provided to all volunteers.
To become a LEEPS participant or volunteer, contact a local LEEPS volunteer coordinator at (877) 794-2372.
