GET YOUR TICKETS FOR THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION & BBQ:

 

As you may have heard, we will be celebrating Arizona 4-H's 100th birthday
and honoring 4-H families, leaders, supporters and special guests at an old
time fair & BBQ this fall on Saturday, October 12 from 11:00am-3:00pm at the
UA Maricopa Agricultural Center (37860 W. Smith Enke Road, Maricopa).  This
family-friendly event will feature lots of great hands-on activities, music,
a silent auction, ways to connect with friends, and great food.  The
Honorable Keith Bee will serve as Master of Ceremonies.  Please spread the
word and get your tickets early!

 

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children under 12 and can be
purchased at the Arizona 4-H Centennial BBQ ticket site
<http://www.tinyurl.com/AZ4HBBQ> .  Don't delay - an event like this only
comes around every 100 years!   Save now by buying your tickets before
September 20.  After this, tickets increase to $20 for everyone.
