In this introduction, we talk about what to expect on Fifteen Minutes with Fuzz, a new show dedicated to showcasing local attractions, non-profits, events, experiences, and people that make Washington County, Wisconsin great!

Intro – Hello, Washington County!

Did you know we have wolves, tigers and bears all about five miles from our house? 

Oh my! This week, Shanna joins Fuzz to talk about Shalom Wildlife Zoo—an absolute gem located just off of Highway 144 in West Bend (or maybe technically Barton or Farmington). 

If you ever have an idea for the show, send an email with your idea to fifteenwithfuzz@gmail.com.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a group of 10-to-14-year-olds learning what it means to be volunteers in their community. It's CAMP SUPERHERO!! 

Hey there, masked crusader. This week, I'm joined by Sheldon Brennemann, a community engagement specialist at the Volunteer Center of Washington County. Sheldon and I talk about a program called Camp SuperHero that introduces tweens and young teens to volunteerism. 

I love to hear about fun and positive things happening in and around Washington County. If you know of something I should share, email me your idea at fifteenwithfuzz@gmail.com. 

Thanks for listening!

Let's talk about some naughty goats with good, strong goat names. On this week's episode, Cassie and Jennifer Jerich join me to talk about Washington County 4-H. It was amazing to learn about all of the great leadership skills that our youth are learning in 4-H. Also, I learned that it's really accessible for children of all ages and from all walks of life. 

Plus, I learn an answer to a question that I've never quite known the answer to — do you need to own an animal to be in 4-H?

If you have an idea for the show, please email me at fifteenwithfuzz@gmail.com or visit fifteenwithfuzz.com and fill out the form. 

This show is available on all of your favorite podcast platforms and I hope you'll like, subscribe, drop a five-star comment, and be sure to listen each week. 

Thanks for joining me. Talk to you next Monday!!

This week's show is a great example of why I'm doing this and what I've missed since I left radio. On this episode, I speak with Shannon Siebert of Washington County Foster Closet to talk about her organization and the importance of supporting children in foster care—as well as foster families—in Washington County, Wisconsin. 

The Washington County Foster Closet supports our area children by providing clothing and supplies to foster families. Imagine getting a call that three teen children are going to be placed with your family in the next half hour! Being prepared for all ages, sizes, and genders of children would be impossible as a foster family, and the Washington County Foster Closet serves as a resource to the foster families in our area with clothing, supplies, and much needed support. 

This is one of those episodes that makes you think and gets you wondering how you can do more for those who are in need in our community, and I truly thank Shannon Siebert and Koa Dautermann for all they do in Washington County.

My in-laws came down for a "Beer Garden and Bibinger's" Friday afternoon. Shanna and I had such a great time with her family. We started at Homestead Hollow Park, a Washington County Park in Germantown. After some great beer from 1840 Brewing Company and some fun live music, we went to Bibinger's Restaurant for a Friday night fish fry. 

Shanna joins me this week to recount the evening.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States. Since 2018, I've been involved with helping to build the Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial and Education Center in Kewaskum, Wis. On this week's episode, Dustin Melzark, an architect and construction manager for Lakeside Development, joins me to discuss all of the symbolism of the Memorial. There are a ton of easter eggs built within the Memorial that you are probably unaware of.
