4-H T-Shirt Logo Contest Extended....
4-H T-SHIRT LOGO CONTEST DEADLINE EXTENDED………...
The McHenry County 4-H T-Shirts and Sweatshirts are down to a very few, so before we ordered more, we thought it is time to redesign the Logo! There are several ways to go. You could design a Large Logo with 2 colors for a color Tee or Sweatshirt - Or - you could design a small logo that would go on a polo shirt. We are open to any design - use your imagination!
The Design must include:
A Regulation/copyrighted 4-H Clover and the phrase "McHenry County"
Also, let us know what the background color tee or polo shirt should be. Please email your design to the McHenry County Extension Office by April 1, 2009. Email to: kwagner@illinois.edu (if not using a Microsoft Office software package, please convert your design to a .pdf…for more info on this, call Katie at the Extension office). For questions about the t-shirt contest, please call Cheryl Hammerand at 815-653-9610
