The Youth Fair Auction is the culmination of a year’s worth of dedication, responsibility, and early mornings for the youth of Lane County. For our 4-H and FFA exhibitors, this event represents the finish line of a project that taught them the value of animal husbandry, financial management, and hard work. When you participate in the auction, you aren’t just purchasing livestock; you are validating the effort of a young agriculturalist and helping fund their future education or next year’s project.
At The Lane County Fair
Invest in the Next Generation
We invite businesses, families, and individuals to join us ringside to support these hardworking exhibitors. Whether you are looking to fill your freezer with premium, locally-raised meat or simply wish to support a student through an “add-on” contribution, your presence makes a difference. Details regarding buyer registration, proxy bidding, and this year’s sale order can be found below, when available.
See you Next Year!
