Text Box: SEMO Fair 4-H Exhibit Hall 4-H Club Banners wanted Cape County 4-H Council wants to decorate the 4-H Exhibit Hall similar to the 4-H Building at the State Fair by hanging banners throughout the building representing all 4-H Clubs in counties that exhibit in the building.  Banner size is 32 inches wide, 53 inches long; with a seam at the top of the banner large enough for a dowel rod to fit thru in case they decide to hang some banners in that manner. Please have banners completed & sent to the Cape County Extension Office by June 29, 2007, to give them time to know how many banners to expect & to plan how & where to display them.  Be creative & have fun with this project.  List your 4-H Club name & county on the banner & add other artwork to represent your Club.  This would be a great way to advertise 4-H & to let people know what clubs exist in their counties (in case they didn't know & may want to join or simply to let the public know that 4-H is alive & well in all of the counties in the Southeast Region.)
