PI Tractor Supply store wins 4-H award
PRESQUE ISLE — The Tractor Supply Company (TSC) store in Presque Isle was recently recognized with three awards for its outstanding performance during this year’s 4-H/TSC Paper Clover Campaign.
The store received the Regional Champion Award for having one of the top five highest transaction percentages for Paper Clover donations in its region. Additional awards achieved were the District Champion Award for the highest transaction percentage in its district, and the Class Champion Award for achieving the TSC company goal.
The 4-H/TSC Paper Clover Campaign is a nationwide, in-store fundraiser that benefits 4-H programming in the communities where a TSC store is located. The fall 2013 campaign was a very successful promotion, raising over $627,000 that will support 4-H at the local, state and national levels. The funds raised have provided direct support for local camps, after-school programs and other activities, and has granted scholarships to these events so youth can explore their interests in everything from animal science to robotics. For more information on the 4-H program, contact your local University of Maine Cooperative Extension office.
