RUMFORD — The Tractor Supply Company store in Rumford was recently recognized with an award for its outstanding performance during this year’s 4-H/TSC Paper Clover Campaign. The store received the Class Champion Award for achieving the TSC company goal of at least a 15 percent transaction percentage and raising a minimum of $300 for Paper Clover donations.

The 4-H/TSC Paper Clover Campaign is a nationwide, in-store fundraiser that benefits 4-H programming in the communities where a TSC store is located. The fall 2013 campaign was a very successful promotion, raising more than $627,000 that will support 4-H at the local, state and national levels. The funds raised have provided direct support for local camps, after-school programs and other activities, and has granted scholarships to these events so youth can explore their interests in everything from animal science to robotics.
