County Fair Sponsorships

Do you have any idea how lucky you are? To be a part of one of the greatest 4-H programs in Colorado? One of the reasons Douglas County 4-H is so fantastic is because of the HUGE support we receive from the community in a variety of ways.

One of the main ways community businesses, ranchers and families support 4-H is by sponsoring all of those FABULOUS awards you get at the County Fair each year. All of the buckles, trophies, chairs and other goodies are sponsored by someone local that cares about YOU and your success!

In return, all we ask is that you send them a thank you note telling them how much you appreciate what they do for you and the 4-H community. This year, as we are looking for sponsors, we have found that a lot of them haven't been thanked in a long time. It's hard to get people to donate their hard earned money when they don't feel appreciated. Sooner or later, we won't have as many awards to give out because noone is going to sponsor the 4-H program.

So, this year, when you get your shiny buckle, look on the back.... we always put a sticker with the sponsors name and address. Be sure to let them know how much you care and appreciate their sponsorship. That way, we can all look forward to receiving awards for years to come.
