Mr. Bill's Big Fish.....4-H Volunteer Bill Ellis shows 'em how it's done!


On behalf of the Keep Fairfield Beautiful Board and Fairfield County 4-H, I would like to
personally thank The Town of Winnsboro, Bi-lo, Wal-mart, Sportsman’s Warehouse,
Canoeing for Kids and the Fairfield County Schools for recently supporting the 4-H20
Environmental Camp held at the Town of Winnsboro Reservoir. Sponsors donations of time
and talents helped us to be able to educate children on the importance of one of our most
abundant natural resources; “WATER”. You helped us to make learning fun!!  
The recent drought and high temperatures have highlighted the need to educate everyone on
ways they can conserve water. At the 4-H20 Camp, children learned about how water is used,
tested, cleaned of impurities, and then released back into our streams.  In Clemson
Extension’s watershed demonstration, the kids also learned how each of us can take
responsibility and do our part to keep pollution and litter from ending up in our water
sources.
Fishing, canoeing, swimming, using microscopes, hiking in the woods, and visiting the
Winnsboro water and waste treatment plants helped to make learning “fun” at the 2007 4-H20
camp. Again, thanks for making a difference in our kids, and our world.  The kids will be
“painting the drains" in Winnsboro in the near future. By labeling the drains, they will
educate people on the importance of not putting pollutants in the roadway drains…which
lead to the reservoir.

Sincerely,
Mary Urias
