We put on those shows and we also help with monetary donations toward the kids’ projects.”

This is the second year the Club has held the fundraiser and the raffle drawing will be held the night of the Gray County Junior Livestock Sale on Jan. 18, 2020. Western Equipment helped with providing the tractor and Trailer’s Etc. built the trailer.

Tickets are $20 for one or six for $100. They can be purchased from Ryan Davis at 806-886-8118, Maul’s Feed and Seed, Capital Farm Credit, Western Equipment or any 4-H or FFA livestock participant.
