TRIBUNE
Thank You!!
The 2015 Booths and Banner Committee would like to
give a huge "Thank You" to Becky, Ann, and Kim for
taking all of the Club Banners to the Maryland State
Fair. What a great way to showcase our Carroll County
4-H and FFA Clubs!
TRIBUNE
Another big thank you goes out to Mr. Dave Victor,
father of Carly and Michelle Victor of Carrollton 4-H
Club. Mr. Victor used his time and talents to construct
reusable wooden banner stands. These stands were very
helpful for our banner judges. By having these stands,
the judges were able to view and compare several
banners at once. This not only saved time but it also
made the day easier for club members who were
volunteering as clerks.
