Farmers Market Fundraiser:
This is an opportunity for your 4-H club or a youth 4-Her who is going on a 4-H trip, to raise funds by selling projects they made, the food they made, the food they grew, or charge for an activity (i.e. face painting for $2) at the Jackson County Farmers Market.
The Parent and Leaders Association has paid for the fee to have a booth at the Farmers Market to get this club fundraiser started! Each club leader will be emailed information about how they as a club can sign up, participate, and raise funds for their club. The family of each youth who has signed up for a 4-H state, national, or international trip will also be emailed with information on how to sign up so they can raise money to attend their 4-H trip.
Quick Facts about this Fundraiser:
- Funds raised at the Farmers Market will go directly to the club that was selling that day, or directly to the 4-H youth attending a 4-H trip
- Each club will be selling something of their choosing – meaning that there will be A LOT of cool things! Some things they may sell are listed below:
- Homemade Food Goodies
- Craft Projects
- Drawings/Paintings

- Kits for Activities
- And so much more!
- The Farmers Market runs from June through October
