Shamrock Shindig Report
Despite a slightly lower attendance this year, we still had a great turnout and a wonderful evening together! Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we raised over $4,000 to support the Garfield County 4-H Scholarship Fund. These funds help our 4-H youth attend leadership events and other valuable opportunities.
A huge thank you goes out to the incredible support from our local businesses and 4-H clubs who came together to create some truly amazing auction items. We couldn’t have done it without your generosity and community spirit!
We also want to recognize the hard work and dedication of our 4-H Council officers and advisors who played a big role in making this event a success.
To show our appreciation for our 4-H clubs, we hosted a fun competition for the best red, white, and blue themed basket—and the votes are in!
Congratulations to the Future Sportsman 4-H Club for putting together a winning entry!
Be sure to check out the photos from the event, including the winning basket/BBQ.
Thank you, Garfield County, for your continued support—we appreciate you!
