The Texas 4-H Youth Development Foundation will be hosting multiple silent auction fundraising events during the 2010 Texas 4-H Roundup. The Texas 4-H Youth Development Foundation provides an ideal way for the citizens of Texas to ensure that the century old youth development program that we know as Texas 4-H, continues to thrive. The Foundation’s main goal is to provide financial support to 4-H’s on-going efforts to train and equip this state’s future leaders as well as sustain their tremendously successful university and technical school scholarship program. The “I Support the Clover” Silent Auction proceeds will benefit the Texas 4-H Youth and Development Program through Roundup support and state-wide 4-H program support grants through the Texas 4-H Friends & Alumni Association.

Pair of knifes by Chris Reeve. The nearly 20 years that Chris Reeve Knives has been in existence have been remarkable ones! As a young man, I dreamed of owning a comfortable sized workshop where I could make good knives, have some decent machines and earn a reasonable living. Never in my wildest dreams, could I have thought that my 'one man band' knife making endeavor would take me half way around the world, honor me with such a large and loyal group of customers, and take me on a financial and emotional roller coaster ride!

Autographed baseball by Nolan Ryan, The Alvin Express

 Hall of Fame Career: Nolan Ryan was selected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association of America on January 5, 1999 in his first year of eligibility. Prior to the 1999 election, just 26 players had been selected to the Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility, including seven pitchers. The last player so honored was Mike Schmidt in 1995 and the last pitcher was Steve Carlton in 1994. Prior to the 1999 election, there were 237 members of the Hall of Fame, including 178 former major league players, 23 pioneers/executives, 15 Negro Leaguers, 14 managers, and seven umpires. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in ceremonies at Cooperstown, New York on Sunday, July 25.

When Nolan Ryan threw his final pitch on September 22, 1993, he concluded a 27-year major league career in which he had 5,714 strikeouts and seven no-hitters, the highest totals of any player in history. He won 324 games while playing longer than anyone in major league history

Dalhart Windberg Wildlife/Landscape Print
A Texas native from Goliad County, Windberg began to attract national attention in the 1960s. He studied under the Texas painter Simon Michael. Windberg was determined to paint like the masters; so, he developed a way to have a smooth surface by using diluted modeling paste to prepare his painting surface. By using this technique he could duplicate the look of the masters without spending as much time on each painting. He has executed romantic still lifes and figurative oil paintings depicting life in Texas, Mexico, Spain and Greece.
