*Counties WITHOUT endowments

Rules: The rules of the game are simple- fill the jar with coins! Each coin represents points based on its face value.

Points: 1 penny=1 point, 1 nickel=5 points, 1 dime=10 points, and 1 quarter=25 points.

Be careful! Paper bills are negative points.

 
$1.00 bill= -10 points, $5.00 bill= -20 points, $10.00 bill= -50 points, $20.00 bill= -100 points, $100.00 bill= -500 points.

Note: Paper bills can be added to your opponent's jar so they have fewer points!

The area with the greatest amount of POINTS will win the total jackpot.
The total amount raised will be divided evenly between the counties that have endowment accounts as of 6/30/13. Funds will be deposited directly into the endowment account. All counties may participate, however, money will only be given to the counties that have established an endowment account with the Iowa 4-H Foundation.

Battle of the areas- who has what it takes to win it all? So join the fun and meet us at the Iowa State Fair to help us raise money for Iowa 4-H’ers!

Alumni Spotlight: Lindsay Mickelson

When one thinks of 4-H, they might not jump to music. However, 4-H allows youth to develop skills that help in areas of creativity and performance. Lindsay Mickelson was a Dayton Tiger 4-H’er from Webster County. Involved in several project areas, she loved to show pigs at county and State Fair, cattle for a couple years, photography, baking and Share the Fun. “I have so many great memories from 4-H. From playing cards in the cattle barns with friends to earning trophies for raising a fine-looking pig,” says Mickelson. “Fair time was always my favorite time of year because it combined my two favorite things: hanging out with friends and tending to the animals. I can remember the first year when I started 4-H, we had our calves so tame we would lay on them in the barn, just because they would let us. Half the time the calves couldn’t care less, as long as they had food and water, they were happy.” Mickelson identifies 4-H as a steppingstone growing up, teaching her how t
