Celebrate Hard Work. Support Local Youth.
The Tri-Rivers Fair Livestock Premium Auction is more than a sale—it’s the culmination of months of dedication, early mornings, and real-world learning for 4-H and FFA youth across our region.
When you support the auction, you’re investing in future leaders, business owners, and agricultural innovators. Exhibitors gain not only financial support but confidence, pride, and the experience of earning the rewards of their hard work.
🥩 What’s a Premium Auction?
Unlike a traditional livestock sale, this is a “premium-only” auction, meaning:
- The youth retains ownership of the animal.
- Your bid is a financial bonus to reward their efforts.
- Multiple buyers can support each exhibitor through add-on contributions.
💵 Want to Add On?
This year, add-ons will be collected differently:
- Fill out the Add-On Form (linked below)
- Return to the 4-H office by July 25th or bring to Nathan Carlson before 1:30 PM on sale day.
- Add-ons of $100+ will be announced as the exhibitor exits the ring. All others will be recognized in group thank-yous throughout the event.
