4-H BASKET RAFFLE FUNDRAISER AT THE COUNTY FAIR

It’s the time of year for 4-H clubs to think about what kind of a basket you will be creating for our famous 4-H Basket Raffle Fundraiser! Clubs are also welcome to contribute smaller items that kids would like to be combined and put together as a basket if putting a full basket is not possible.

Basket Raffle items should be:

In a container of some kind – basket, tote, bucket, cooler, etc.
Wrapped in cellophane or a clear plastic bag to keep things clean and help ensure that the contents stay in baskets while on display at the fairgrounds.
Include a clearly displayed card/sign listing items in basket, thanking any donors, and stating the club’s name.
NO perishable items, NO alcohol, NO tobacco products

We need to have your basket raffle items at the office by NOON Friday, July 25th.NOTE: Heavy, awkward or fragile baskets/raffle items should be taken directly to the Expo building on July 25th before noon.

If you have questions please feel free to contact Carol Janssen at 920-203-3439
