Frequently Asked Questions 
(about the New 4-H Milkshake Barn)
What are we building?
  • A new gambrel style pole building will have interior dimensions of 32’x 40’ with an 8’x10’ attached freezer space. In addition, there will be 8’ covered porches on 3 sides of the building. The building will have a metal green roof and white siding trimmed in green with gray stone veneer on the front. Also, we are planning a classy “Field of Clovers” donor recognition area visible from the drive!
  • The facility will actually double the current space to make our delicious hand-made milkshakes. Additional machines will be purchased to help speed up the process and more handwashing sinks will enhance cleanliness.
  • The building will include a second floor to house our supplies, but also Junior Fair Board awards, equipment and 4-H camp supplies as well.
  • All contractors will be local businesses including:
    • PAW Construction, Long Electric, Downey Plumbing and Heating, Precision Plumbing and Heating, Arn Architect and others
 
What will the building cost?
  • We anticipate the final cost to be approximately $156,000.
$100,000 – Building
$30,000 – Interior and second floor
$18,000- freezer/cooler
$5,000 –cabinets/tables and fixtures
$2,5000 – flooring
$1,000 – each additional machine
 
When and Where will it be built?
  • Located just to the south of the old milkshake barn, the building process will begin in early winter 2016/17 and will be open in time for the 2017 Wood County Fair. Watch for our grand opening party in July!
What do milkshake profits fund?
  • 4-H Youth and Volunteers!
  • Each year, 4-H milkshakes, our only county fundraiser, will support youth awards, camps and trips and volunteer training with nearly $30,000 of additional support!
  • Since 2002, 660 camp counselors and 3200 campers have received financial assistance to go to 4-H Camp Palmer. 200 teens have traveled to Washington DC, a state camp or leadership training.
  •  Making 4-H Milkshakes enhance positive youth development by teaching these valuable Life Skills:
    • Community Service - Work Ethic- Responsibility – Social Skills
    • Leadership - Team Work - Financial Responsibility      
 
Why is this building necessary?
  • This building, a 40-year investment, will replace an aging facility that is neither large enough or sound enough to accommodate our large and dynamic volunteer team and growing business.
  • This investment will supplement and enhance Wood County 4-H programs with more than $1.2 million over 40 years!
