Tractor Supply Co. customers can support 4-H by purchasing Paper Clovers at checkout. These $1 Paper Clovers generate funds that are important to Delaware 4-H. Many of the funds raised stay right in the county where they were purchased. Consider visiting Tractor Supply this spring for your 4-H project and lawn and garden needs and encourage your friends and neighbors to do so as well. Ask them to purchase a Paper Clover while they are there!
