In total, over $130,000 was raised in 2017, and sights are set to surpass this record-breaking amount in 2018. Auction’s proceeds support Wisconsin 4-H activities including 4-H conferences, teaching materials and workshops, and overall development of 4-H youth.
Please join us at the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Meat Products Auction August 7, 2018 for another record breaking year.
