First and foremost, THANK YOU! There are two options for supporting the youth selling animals at the Fair.

  1. Purchase an Animal - Support a child directly by purchasing their amimal. Animals can be processed for your own use, donated for resale toward a charitable cause of your choice, or resold at market value. There will be volunteers on hand at the sale to answer any questions and make the process easy for first time buyers. Can't make the sale in person? No worries! There are options for absentee bidding!

  2. Add On - Add ons are donations to a child above and beyond the sale price of their animal. Add ons are a great option for someone who wants to support a child but does not have the financial means to purchase an animal, or for those who want to support more children with their available budget.
