THANK YOU NOTES Don t forget to write Thank you notes to anyone that supported you at the fair as well as through out the 4- H year. Make sure you include your trophy sponsors if you won a trophy at the fair and also make sure you get one out to those who purchased your livestock at the fair. I encourage you to handwrite all thank you notes and make sure you explain what trophy you received from them or what specific animal they purchased or let them know what they have done for you this year that you have appreciated. A simple handwritten thank you note means a great deal to the people who have supported you!
