When. we used.a tocal business three years, ago, it was ‘so much - | more than ‘what “we. usually =. paid. We decided to go back out of town. We did ‘buy trophies locally for our an- nual gymkhana, on the fall fair weekend though, Our club is always short of money and workers. Our Yonsists of mainly kids and are purchased and paid for by the fall fair Association. You may ask them whether they find the local trophy shop competitive in prices or service when approached for _ a quote. The Boots N Saddles 4-H horseclub did check prices locally for their fall fair weekend horseshow and found that the price dif- ference was impossible to ‘manage. “The 4-H Council ap- preciates the local businesses who donate to our organiza- tion and we will continue to “patronize their stores and - buy locally as we have always done.: : ; Sincerely yours, Kathy Tycho, .| President, ~ .

Through three children he's never complained | about the extra pounds, the dirty diapers, the un- done house work, the tired wife. _ Instead, he's always called me “Beautiful”. He's -. never shirked dirty diapers or the diaper pall. He's washed tons of dishes and vacuumed many floars. This tired wife has had countless dates and breakfast made on Saturday mornings. : In 10 years together # know | can't fill one hand with. negative camments. This. sensitive man‘ has. seen me through many crazy flings. He's never put - ‘me down, dut praised and encouraged me ® through _ ‘each one. —_ Today he turned down a fishing date, because, “He ; couldn't do that to me twice in one week.” _ What more can! say?
