We will begin selling Red Wheel the first week of October as a fund raiser for those 4-H’ers that are interested in going on the Washington D.C. 4-H trip. Order forms will be mailed out the first of the week, and selling for the entire month. Please contact the office if your child is interested in selling Red Wheel so we can mail you out a packet of information.
Orders are due in the office Friday, October 28th.
Delivery will be Saturday, November 19, (presorted) in Wilber at 8 a.m.
**If a county sells 250 items they will earn delivery to their office.
4-H’ers earn 40% of their proceeds which is then applied to their WDC trip costs.
