A Green Tie Affair

The 4-H Green Tie Affair is the largest fundraiser of the year for Chautauqua County 4-H. The festivities are held at the Chautauqua Harbor Hotel and start at 3:00 p.m. with a basket raffle and bake sale. A buffet-style dinner begins at 5:00 p.m. and a pie auction follows dinner. Sponsorship levels start at $50 and individual tickets are $35. Tickets and sponsorship information are available by contacting chautauqua4h@cornell.edu.

The proceeds from the fundraiser are used to help fund 4-H Youth Development programming across Chautauqua County. 4-H connects youth to hands-on learning opportunities that help them grow into competent, caring, contributing members of society. Chautauqua County

4-H carries out this mission by providing year-round 4-H Club and 4-H Animal science programming to about 300 Chautauqua County youth. 4-H also has a 4-H Spark Educator who provides education to youth on agriculture and natural resources topics at schools and youth-serving organizations.
