At Farm Show
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.)
The Capital Region Friends of
4-H committee will sponsor a
“Ton of Change” fund-raising
campaign during the 1993 Pen
nsylvania Farm Show, Jan. 9-14,
in Harrisburg.
“We’re encouraging Farm
Show visitors to donate their
pocket change,” says Robert
Kessler, 4-H coordinator in Frank
lin County, who created the cam
paign. “A ton of change would
equal about $20,000. These funds
would benefit 4-H’ers across the
state.”
Visitors can make donations at
the Friends of 4-H exhibit outside
the Large Arena. “We’re welcom
ing contributions of any amount,”
says Kessler. “We’ll have a set of
scales at the collection area, so
donors can weigh their
contributions.”
Money raised in the campaign
will go to Pennsylvania Friends of
4-H. Since the volunteer group
was founded in 1980, it has raised
more than $700,000 to support
4-H programs. Funds are used to
send 4-H’ers to events such as
National 4-H Congress and Capi
tal Days, to recognize and train
youth leaders and to add or
enhance educational programs.
For those who want to leant
more about 4-H, displays and pre
sentations will be part of the Penn
State College of Agricultural Sci
ences exhibit, near the machinery
displays at the main entrance.
Adult leaders and youth particip
ants will be on hand to answer
questions about 4-H programs.
