Hurley - Members of the Penokee Range 4-H Livestock Club held their Haymakers and Hotdogs fundraiser this past weekend, with members of the club working together to raise money for their future projects, including improvements to the county fairgrounds.

The club spent four hours washing cars and selling hot dogs, according to Chelsea DeRosso and Kristie Dalbeck.

This was the fourth annual Haymakers and Hotdogs fundraiser, and the entire club participated in the car wash, taking turns on shifts.

The Penokee Range 4-H Livestock Club includes members from across Iron County, and its biggest event every year is a livestock market sale.

Held at the Iron County Fair in Saxon, Wisconsin, the sale gives members an opportunity to earn college funds, purchase more animals and learn about agriculture and business.

This year's livestock sale will be held on Aug. 3 at 4:30 p.m. at the Iron County Fairgrounds.
