The Greene County Fair is next week and there’s a new addition to help raise funds for local causes.

Greene County Extension Director Lori Mannel says people can purchase punch cards to the Clover Cafe. The punch cards come in increments of $5, $10 or $20. The punch cards can be purchased on set-up day of the fair on Sunday or at the Extension office. Mannel says the punch cards help to raise funds for the Greene County 4-H Foundation.

“That then supports our local 4-H program. Whether that’s our new member picnic, our awards day. Lots of kids go to camps and we pay 50-percent for every 4-H’er, one per year. A lot of good causes for the Clover Cafe and the proceeds.”

Mannel adds that punch cards are also good to use instead of carrying additional cash in your pocket during the fair.
