You may have heard the old advertising slogan, "It's a Jeep thing." It was a great marketing campaign to build a sense of belonging and community for the Jeep vehicle market. They were fun, catchy, cheeky, and effective.
NYT, 2021: "After 80 years, the King of the Off-Road is vying to maintain its cult following while it charts its electric future."
I recently had the opportunity to speak with Cecilia Sepp, CAE, ACNP - a nonprofit cheerleader and networking dynamo. She speaks with innovators who are boldly pursuing passion projects. As you know by now, my nonprofit Wagtown, Inc. is most definitely filled with passion. Cecilia and I chatted about some of the challenges that passion project champions can face and … how the burning desire to shift the culture of our communities to match a vison of a better tomorrow. I do that through wagging tails, brilliant colleagues, heartfelt supporters, savvy advisors, and so much more.
Now, I have a new interview to share with you. If you are one of those people who cares about your vision so much it literally hurts, join the conversation by listening to our talk and following Cecilia's work. You won't be disappointed.
Huge thank you to Rogue Tulips Nonprofit Consulting & Association Management Services and Cecilia Sepp, CAE, ACNP for providing me the opportunity to connect with your world of change advocates and innovators.

Turning challenges into victories! Amidst the rapid growth of pickleball, it posed a unique challenge for the Parks industry. Thrilled to discuss our local pickleball courts with a reporter, using it as a platform to highlight community engagement in the parks' master plan process. Gratitude for the chance to spotlight the bright side in a recent article.

I PLEDGE my HEAD to clearer thinking,
my HEART to greater loyalty,
my HANDS to larger service,
and my HEALTH to better living,
for my family, my club, my community, my country and my world.
This is the 4-H Pledge that youth and adults recite at the opening of each meeting. In the spirit of that pledge to clearer thinking, we ask “is there a future for 4-H in Sherburne County?”
Last summer, the 4-H horse project funded and painted the barns to freshen them up for fair. Imagine the disappointment as everything the kids worked to prepare for was deluged with rain through the failing roofs on the horse barns as several waves of extreme weather occurred during fair week. The normal flurry of excitement was replaced with an all-out scramble to shift horses to higher ground and wait out the storm while also scrambling to save thousands of dollars’ worth of hay, feed, show clothes, tack and equipment. This is one of many issues that need to be addressed to deal with aging infrastructure and the future of the county fairgrounds.
The county has indicated at various times the desire to sell and redevelop the property the fairground occupies. That constant fear of being evicted from the fairgrounds has not served the best interests of the youth or the community at large. Sherburne County businesses and residents are overwhelmingly supportive of 4-H programming when made aware of needs and how they can help. But who will invest in updating and improving the aging infrastructure of a fairgrounds under constant threat of eviction and redevelopment of the property? If the long-range plan is to relocate the fairgrounds, then please, let us begin the dialogue to plan out a timeline and details for beginning that endeavor. We need to at least work together to solve the immediate issues to serve our youth of today as well as plan for the future of our youth. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Please, let us not fail our youth any longer.
~ Families of Sherburne County 4-H
Note: this letter was sent to all Sherburne County commissioners. The purpose of this post is to raise awareness of safety issues at the Sherburne County fairgrounds.
The video captures the July 22, 2023 storm at the county fair and a failing roof leaking into one of the tack/hay stalls.
