Introduction to the Contest
Have you ever dreamed of being King
or queen for a day?
Well 4-H can make it happen.
Make plans to take part in the
Annual 4-H Penny King and
Queen Contest.
The rules are simple and the
rewards are great! This is one
of the annual fund-raisers
sponsored by Rapides 4-H.
The money is used to provide awards for many of our
parish contests such as Super Saturday, scholarships,
volunteer recognition awards and recognition of
outstanding 4-H club members.
How does the contest work?
1. 4-H’ers prepare an unbreakable jar or container. Be
sure to use on with a lid. You can decorated it with the
4-H colors (include your full name, 4-H club (school
name, and the contest name). Cut a slot in the lid for
people to put in money. There is no limit to the number
of containers you can use.
Ask people to “vote” for you for Queen or King
of your 4-H club. They do this by placing money
in your jar. They can give any amount and can
vote as many times as they want to vote for you.
The more money you collect the better your
chance of being crowned King or Queen.
