Thank you for visiting the fundraising page for the Cole County 4-H / FFA Fair Board!  As they have for the past 40-50 years, the Jefferson City Jaycees are providing funding for the annual youth fair. Since our number of entries has increased 7-9% each year, we need additional funds to operate the fair - things like judges, ribbons and trophies.

By putting on the fair, we help our Cole County youth raise almost $100,000!  (Last year's livestock auction raised $80,000, and the ham auction brought in $11,000, so we could reach $100,000 this year.)  All these funds, except for a percentage used for advertising, go to the kids.  So the funds used to operate the fair are a great investment in our young people!

We would appreciate a donation in any amount to help support our fair.  All donations will be deposited with the Cole County 4-H Foundation, a tax-exempt organization established to support 4-H in our county, so your donation may be tax deductible.  You can make a donation by credit or debit card directly from this website.  Or, you can deliver a donation to the Cole County Extension Office, 2436 Tanner Bridge Rd., Jefferson City, MO 65101.  If you are interested in sponsoring a show or class at the fair, please contact the Extension Office at 573-634-2824, or coleco@missouri.edu or by FAX at 573-634-5463.  You can find information on the shows and classes in this year's fair, plus a list of fair superintendents at http://extension.missouri.edu/cole/Programs/4-H/F-Fair/2008%20Fair%20Book.htm

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support the Cole County 4-H / FFA Fair Board's fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
