Open class auction offered at county fair

The Wahkiakum Fair Foundation will sponsor an Open Class Auction at the fair this year. The auction will be held on Saturday of fair at 1 p.m. This auction is similar to the 4-H Market Sale which will be held on Friday at 6:30 p.m.

WFF has proposed this open class auction as a fund raising opportunity for the fair; suggesting that participants donate a portion of their auction proceeds back to the fair. Any item entered in the fair in either the adult or youth division is eligible for the auction. This includes animal and still life entries. So far there will be lambs available. The Foundation is hoping that the public will take advantage of this new fund raiser to help the fair in its effort to continue to provide this family event for the community.

More information is available from Lore Twiet at 431-5247 or by attending the Foundation meeting on Monday, August 3 at the Skamokawa Town Center Community Meeting Room at 5 p.m.
