Paper Clover Week at Tractor Supply
October 6-17, 2021
It's time for Paper Clover Week! Please encourage your friends and family to donate to 4-H as the Salisbury Tractor Supply location. Rowan County 4-H receives 90% of the donations at that store, with state and national 4-H receiving the remaining 10% of donations. We still are not allowed to have youth in the store collecting money, so please help spread the word to encourage folks to give! |

| Please note before reading 4-H Wreath Sale flyer:
Since our pick-up date was so close to Christmas last year, we have made it much earlier this year to help meet your decorating
needs. To keep your greenery fresh for as long as possible, make sure to soak it overnight (greenery side down) in a tub full of cool water on the day you pick it up. Keep it in a cool location until you hang it. Purchase an empty spray bottle and fill it with cool water and spray your greenery every day. If possible, keeping it out of sunlight or away from heat vents helps to prolong life as well. We often have customers who pick up wreaths in December and then tell us they lasted until February or March, so if you care for yours properly it should last!
