Sussex County 4-H has been invited to partner with our Newton Tractor Supply Company store to exhibit, recruit, and fundraise on October 1.

On Saturday, October 1, from 10 am – 4 pm. Newton tractor supply would love to have our 4-H clubs promote their clubs at the store. Clubs are encouraged to exhibit what their club is about (animals welcome), recruit new members, and fundraise for their club. Clubs will just need to bring their own table and chairs. Set up will begin at 9:00 am. They are welcome to set up a pop-up tent and pens for animals (if they choose).

Interested clubs need to sign-up at, https://tsceventpartners.com to reserve a spot.
