This is a fantastic week where a culmination of hard work and talent are exhibited by the local youth involved in the Clay County Fair. Due to Covid, one of the many modifications to the fair this year was the necessary elimination of the live auction. With the processing plants unable to receive animals, the traditional method of raising money for the kids is not possible.
As an alternative, a volunteer committee has organized to develop and hold an internet benefit for the kids. The sole purpose of this fundraiser is to raise important and much deserved money for the hard working kids in the fair. For many exhibitors, the fair is 51 weeks of hard work and preparation for one week of enjoyment and satisfaction that ends in a small stream of revenue with the sale of their project.
This event is not associated with the Clay County 4-H Council or Clay County 4-H. They declined to participate. Therefore, this fundraiser is being organized by a private committee. Your participation is needed and encouraged.
