4-H Thanks Hare Canvas Products

The cost of the sunscreen for the hog barn at the Wells County 4-H Fairgrounds was $185 and the cost of the sunscreen for the show ring at the 4-H fairgrounds was $167. The Wells County 4-H Association paid for the show ring screen, but Hare’s Canvas of Markle donated the hog barn sunscreen free of charge.
This information was incorrect in Saturday’s News-Banner.

Now that's out of the way let's be clear: The Wells County 4-H Association knew it needed the sunscreen for the show ring and it also needed one for the swine barn. (Hogs can be burned by the sun if they don't have protection.)
The problem was it only had enough money for the $167 sunscreen to provide protection for the show ring. They explained this to Hare Canvas Products and ordered just the one screen.
To their surprise, Hare Canvas Products, 300 N. Tracy Street, Markle (758-8800) showed up with two sunscreens, and only charged them for one.

Talk about community support, folks. The people of Hare Canvas Products deserve recognition not only for making the donation, but for doing it without being asked. That's the way a community-responsible business operates.
And they aren't the only local business to contribute to the 4-H grounds. IMI brought a load of gravel and dozens of folks donated cash and labor to the ongoing project there.

The Wells County 4-H Association wants the fairgrounds to be in use year round. Helping to make that happen is a job for every able-bodied person in the county. If we all do our part, the fairgrounds will be a treasure for the entire community.
