On the Dock of the Bay is the Eastern 4-H Center’s signature fundraising event that primarily supports youth programs and activities. Additional expenditures include 4-H camping scholarships, building repairs/improvements, program materials, and event expenses.

The ‘Derby on the Dock’ fundraiser is a festive event with a Kentucky Derby theme.

We welcome everyone to come and enjoy the silent auction, delicious food, friends, and FUNds for 4-H!

In celebration of the derby theme, wear your best hat, seersucker, pearls, and bow ties to make the night more festive than ever!
