REMINDER: Farmers Share Breakfast

Raffle Baskets, Sponsors, and Help Needed for Farmers Share Breakfast

The Licking County Farm Bureau will hold their annual Farmers Share Breakfast on Saturday, March 23, 2024 from 7:30-10:00am at CTEC in Newark. All of the donations, sponsorships, and proceeds from the day will go to benefit the Licking County 4-H Summer Camp by helping to offset the cost for all campers and counselors attending camp this summer. There are several ways that YOU can help to make this event a success:

  • Donate a raffle basket – we are in need of several baskets for the raffle. Consider donating a basket as a club, group, or business.
  • Become a sponsor – sponsorships are still available!
  • Volunteer to help – many hands make light work! Help is needed to set up, run the event, and tear down after. How can you help?
  • Come eat breakfast – please join us for made-to-order omelets and all the breakfast fixings! Cost to attend is by donation. There will also be vendors available, the basket raffle, farm displays, and a 50/50 drawing.
  • Spread the word – please share this event widely. We hope for a large turnout to raise funds for camp.

If you are able to be a sponsor, provide a basket, or are willing to volunteer, please contact the Licking County Farm Bureau at licking@ofbf.org or 740-452-2356.
