?? Sonoma County Fair Virtual Livestock Auction - August 1, 2020

The Sonoma County Fair will be offering a virtual auction. This is great news! Buyers now have two ways to participate in the auction:
1) Contact an Area Committee Solicitor to bid for them (as many have been doing), or
2) Register in the online platform and bid for themselves!

The auction will still take place as a live-auction beginning at 9:30 am on Saturday, August 1. More detailed information regarding the auction process as well as how to submit add-on cards can be found here: http://www.sonomacountyfair.com/fair/auction-results.php

Members of the public will still be able to watch the auction without being registered as a bidder.

Updates Regarding Other Local and State Fairs

Fairs provide opportunities for members to exhibit the best of their project work from the past year and see how their skills have grown. Fairs also share with the community what 4-H activities are taking place in their area. 4-H recognizes the value of participation at fairs as a means to showcase, exhibit, and otherwise demonstrate an individual member’s accomplishments and skill development. Fair participation, however, is not a requirement for 4-H involvement, nor should fairs be considered as a validation of the learning experience. Read more about 4-H rules governing participation at fairs.
