Young Adult Committee Takes Annual Brewer Outing

The Young Adult Committee took its third annual outing to Miller Park on Sunday, July 25 to watch the Brewers last game of a series vs. the Washington Nationals.

It was a fantastic summer day in Milwaukee. Over 40 young adults from across the state jumped on two different bus routes to meet in Milwaukee. WHA Board of Director member Todd Stanek and Board Member and YAC Chair Bob Traynor were the designated "grill masters", shown in the photo here. They donned fancy cow-themed aprons and grilled some fantastic burgers and brats.

The game kicked off at 1:10 and the Brewers took an early 2-run lead in the first inning. One of the highlights of the afternoon was one of our own, Joe Mumm, scrambling for a foul ball that landed in our bleacher section! Our group was very excited to have the opportunity to go after a foul ball - the first chance we've had in our three years at the ball park!

After a Brewer victory the buses were packed and headed for a safe trip home. Thanks to all who came out for the game and a special thank you to our Grill Masters Bob and Todd, as well as Nick and Jessica Sarbacker, Marc & Tracy Nelson, and Corey Geiger and Krista Knigge for the use of your pop-up tents and grills!

Hope to see you all again next year!

Geiger Elected At Large Director

“I got hooked on Minnesota!” After ballots were counted, I was elected to the at-large position on the Holstein USA Board of Directors at the 125th National Holstein Convention in Bloomington Minn. Thank you to those that supported my campaign with encouraging words. By being elected for one of the three at-large director positions, not only do I represent Wisconsin breeders, but all Holstein members across the county. So, no matter your location, if you have comments or improvements to our Holstein programs, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to serving the membership and the Holstein cow during the next three years.

During the July 27 and 29, the three newly elected directors: Pete Waterman, Maine, Gayle Carson, Tennessee, and myself will be in Brattleboro, Vt., for new board member orientation. It should be a great experience learning the inner-workings of Holstein USA. I will share more about that trip in a later blog.
