Remember the Osceola County Fair with Custom Lapel Pins

The 67th Annual Osceola County Fair takes place in Kissimmee, Florida from February 11-20, 2011. In addition to rides, exhibits, and food, there will be plenty of time to mingle. What a fun way to meet and greet your neighbors and promote youth activities like 4-H!

Fundraising with Lapel Pins

Have you thought of creating lapel pins with your local group’s name on them? Great to pass out to people attending the fair, they can also be used for fundraising purposes. The monies raised by selling the pins can be used to further the 4-H club’s activities throughout the year. These fundraisers are a hit with communities because of all of the good that come out of them.

Rewarding Children For Showing Their Animals

You can also use them to reward the 4Hers when they have a particularly good showing of their animals. Custom lapel pins signifying First, Second, Third Place, and Honorable Mention provide the children with the encouragement they need to participate in future events.

Youth organizations help young people set goals for themselves. They also teach them a lot about discipline, perseverance, and dedication. Custom lapel pins reward these efforts and let the children know that hard work actually does pay off.

Ways to Customize Your State Fair Pins

There are a number of different ways to customize your state fair pins. Here are a few of our suggestions:

• Choose a unique size, shape or style of lapel pin.

• Select an add-on like glitter, a blinking light, a dangling charm or gemstone.

• Incorporate a graphic or photograph into your lapel pin design that stands out in a crowd.

• Pick the colors that best represent your artwork or theme.

• Include information about the event. This can be the name, location, and year.

• Use different finishes to signify different levels of achievement. For example gold for First Place, Silver for Second Place.
