MONROE - The University of Wisconsin-Extension in Green County annually presents an award to an area organization or individual in recognition of outstanding commitment to UWEX's educational outreach and research programs.
The recipient of the 2016 Friend of Extension Award is Monroe Engraving Inc., owned by Daryl and Kari Fernstaedt. Ellen Andrews, UW-Extension 4H youth development educator, presented the award at the October Morning Optimist Meeting recently.
Monroe Engraving Inc. has produced thousands of trophies over the years for use in UWEX and partner programs and at the Green County Fair Junior shows. Their precision to detail and accuracy in producing the awards makes coordinating enormous projects, including Green County Fair Junior Show trophies, more manageable each year, according to UWEX personnel. They make sure the awards are completed, even at the last minute due to program and participant changes. The Fernstaedts always have stepped up to go the extra mile to provide positive, professional recognition and even support the youth of Green County by sponsoring several of the fair trophies awarded, UWEX said in making the award.
In addition to the Green County Fair, Monroe Engraving assists Green County UWEX with numerous other award areas including 4H, Master Gardeners and Green County Leaders. UWEX personnel said the Fernstaedts' dedication allows UWEX to provide to area residents recognition and achievement for education and life skills learned.
