4-H Foundation Truck Raffle

What a fun ten days at the Iowa State Fair. We hope everyone got a chance to get out and see the wonderful event, as well as the 4-H Truck. The truck crew started off outside the 4-H Building, but after a few days we realized ticket sales went much better if we were inside the building. Our grand total ticket sales for the State Fair were 450! We appreciate all of the State Council helpers as well as our great volunteers from Harrison County, Jackson County and Calhoun County. You all did a great job helping your county and the state foundation raise money. A BIG thank you! :)

We are currently selling tickets at the Farm Progress Show, with today being the last day. Next Saturday will be the Pufferbilly Days in Boone where the truck will be in the parade and around after to sell tickets. On Sunday the truck will be at the great Clay County Fair in Spencer for an entire week. Be sure to stop by and see us there!

After the Iowa State Fair, ticket sales are now marked up to a total of 1450! This is a great number but there is still room for plenty more. Stop and check us out at our next few stops to buy your tickets and see the truck!

Also on Wednesday, August 6, the truck will make a special appearance in the Iowa State Fair Parade.

We will see you at the fair! :)

Traveling almost everyday for the past two weeks, the "A-Team" has been to many county fairs and attractions across the State of Iowa. We are easily seen going down the road, so next time you see us there or at a county fair, give us a wave and get your tickets!

Some of our highlights so far have included the following:

Shelby County Fair: We were fortunate to take part in their county fair parade.
Dallas County Fair: What great fair entertainment! Dallas County did a great job of entertaining us and people at the fair while we sold tickets throughout the day.
Calhoun County Fair: The kids at this fair enjoyed carnival games, face painting and ice cream.
Polk County Fair: It was a great night for a 4-H barbeque supper!
Wright County Fair and Story County Fair: These were both outstanding fairs and have both topped our tickets sales with each selling over 100.

Ticket sales have reached almost 600. Volunteers are doing great and we appreciate all ticket buyers. Keep watching for the truck and don't forget to buy your tickets!
