The Larimer County 4-H Foundation regrets to announce that the 4-H Carnival scheduled for March 6, 2021 has been postponed due to Health Department guidelines. We are working with The Ranch staff to schedule a tentative Carnival date for this Fall, probably October.
4-H Carnival tickets have already been printed with the date, so we’ve decided to proceed with the cash prize drawing on March 6, 2021. The drawing will include:
• one $200 prize,
• two $150 prizes,
• three $100 prizes.
Tickets for the Cash Drawing are Available Now!
Face-to-face sales and door-to-door sales are not allowed at this time, but 4-H members and clubs are selling tickets now using these options:
- Option 1: Tickets can be purchased through the foundation website. Visit larimercounty4hfoundation.com/donate-today.html. Under “Activity,” select the “Carnival/Drawing” box. To give credit to a particular 4-H member or 4-H club, please include their name in the “Message for the Foundation” text box. Payments are accepted through PayPal. Ticket receipts will be sent to the purchaser.
- Option 2: A request for tickets including the funds can be mailed to Larimer County 4-H Foundation, P.O. Box 270371, Fort Collins, CO 80527. Ticket receipts will be sent to the purchaser.
- Option 3: Contact Cindy Buckardt at 970-481-7993 and order tickets with a credit card payment. You can also stop by her office at Construction Supply House: 806A North 2nd Street in Berthoud.
Use email, social media, text messaging, etc. to reach out and sell tickets to family and friends. Please remind people that the funds are used for assisting 4-H youth attending conferences and competitions, educational opportunities for both members and leaders, and program development and scholarships in Larimer County.
The Foundation Board of Trustees has elected to waive the requirement to sell a minimum of 25 tickets per 4-H member for 2021. However, we are encouraging each member to sell as many tickets as possible. We will be awarding cash prizes for the top five 4-H ticket sellers, as well as a cash prize for the 4-H club with the highest average of ticket sales per member. Prizes for top ticket sales: $100 for 1st, $80 for 2nd, $60 for 3rd, $50 for 4th, and $40 for 5th. An award of $100 will be presented to the club with the highest average ticket sales per member based on the club’s enrollment on January 30.
We understand this is a “different” situation than in past years, and appreciate your help in making it a success!
