Oregon's 4-H program is ,

the philosophy that "a blue

well as development of self

earned at county fair. It is
time for them to take their
bows and receive cheers from
their friends and families. All

This is the time, too, when a
long list of award donors are
recognized for their contribu

make the program possible,
and the fair more special to
the young people. The list of
donors is long ... please look it
over in your fair premium

businesses and individuals is
amazing. These are usually
the same people you'll see

They do it to encourage the

While it is impossible to list
all donors to the 4 H program
here ... 4 H wants to offer a
very special thank you to
every donor and contributor!
Without the support of an
interested community, the 4-H
