The Whitley County 4-H Livestock Building fundraising effort is several hundred dollars further along with the Tuesday night donations brought forth by two groups of young 4-H’ers.
The 4-H Bike Club donated $300 from proceeds raised from working in the concession stand during the Spring King Antique Tractor Auction event. Bike Club leader Eric Blank was present for the check presentation.
The 4-H Junior Leaders presented a check for $500 on behalf of their club.
Fundraising efforts continue in hopes that a barn can be built on the Whitley County 4-H Fairgrounds property – providing a permanent structure for livestock. Currently, a tent is put up each year to house animals that do not fit in the barns.
Donations in any amount will be greatly appreciated and can be sent to: Tim Yagel, 4-H Inc., 115 South Line Street, Columbia City, IN 46725.
For additional information, contact Tim Yagel at 609-1362, Bill Leeuw at 248-6499 or Dan Miller at 413-4524.
