*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!
