Spring Paper Clover Campaign – March 27-April 7, 2019
The Spring Tractor Supply Co. 4-H Fundraiser that supports Delaware 4-H Clubs will be held
March 27-April 7 in the Tractor Supply Stores in each county. 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!
