4-H Brings Back Annual Green Tie Affair

JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK (January 6th, 2023) -- Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County’s 4-H Youth Development Program is excited to announce the comeback of our Annual 4-H Green Tie Affair Dinner on Sunday, February 26th, 2023 at the Chautauqua Suites in Mayville. The fun begins at 3:00pm with a basket raffle, bake sale, and appetizers. Dinner is served at 5:00pm and the pie auction will follow dinner. This year’s meal includes U.S oven-roasted prime rib or chicken parmesan, garlic mashed potatoes, caramelized carrots, a mixed salad, and mini cheesecakes for dessert. This year’s event has 1950’s theme and guests are encouraged to wear their favorite 50’s attire as there is a prize for the best dressed!

This year 4-H hopes to raise $25,000 that will directly fund 4-H programming in 2023. 4-H serves 300 youth with life-skills programming year-round. An additional 1,000 youth participate in one-time programming each year. 4-H connects youth to hands-on learning opportunities that help them grow into competent, caring, contributing members of society.

The event draws between six and seven hundred guests annually. Tickets are now available for $25.00 from the 4-H Office located at the Carnahan Center on the JCC campus (241 James Ave Jamestown, NY). Ticket price increases to $30.00 after February 16th, 2023.
