Become a Sponsor

Dear Potential Sponsor: 

The Franklin County 4-H Horse Advisory Committee, along with Ohio State University Extension Office, has been working with Ohio’s youth for decades, building leaders and showcasing talent and hard work.  We are thankful for the opportunity to continue our work with the support of our sponsors as we witness 4-H members continuing to lead, learn and make a difference in their world.

Each July, hundreds of 4-H’ers and their families come together from across Franklin County, Ohio, to participate in the Franklin County Junior Fair for the fun, competition, and comradery.  Franklin County Junior Fair programs are constantly evolving to remain relevant while continuing to provide educational and memorable experiences for our youth.  The Franklin County 4-H Horse Advisory Committee works with numerous 4-H horse clubs and volunteers to execute the Junior Fair Horse Show, not only as a competitive event, but also as an educational one.  This year will be no different as we will persevere with innovative approaches to exceed expectations for a fun and educational week.

Now more than ever, we need sponsors like you to help support this effort to ensure the growth of our youth for years to come.  We greatly appreciate your generosity and would like to offer recognition for you as well.  Please see the attached flyer about what the Franklin County 4-H Horse Advisory Committee can offer you in thanks for your patronage. 

Youth are the future of the equine industry and what better way to grow that future than through the 4-H program!

Thank you for considering our request!

Sincerely, 

Gary Russell, Chair 

Franklin County Horse Advisory Committee
