Milam County 4-H is hosting a fundraiser to help raise money for the Milam County 4-H program. The funds used will help pay for entries for judging contests, day camps, fun activities, and many other 4-H programming needs.

As the 4-H program grows, so does the need to help the youth attend these contests and activities, so the money raised will help these needs.

The 4-H giveaway is underway and will conclude by Nov. 13. The tickets will be drawn on Nov. 20 at the 4-H Holiday Gift Idea Exchange. You do not have to be present to win.

All 4-H members are asked to sell two books of tickets each. Tickets are $10 each or 6 for $50. You can purchase tickets from any 4-H member in the county and there are some available in the County Extension Office.

The items are a big hit. Items being drawn for are:

• 9 cubic feet freezer with $800 worth of meat.

• 10 lbs. pork chops.

• 10 lbs. country style ribs.

• 10 lbs. breakfast sausage.
