Small Animal Auction

Calling all animal lovers and supporters of youth achievement! Don’t miss the exciting Small Animal Auction at the Dodge County Fair!

This fun event benefits the Small Animal Scholarship Fund and the dedicated Junior Fair youth participating in the Small Animal Project. All the animals up for auction are champions, having won blue or red ribbons!

Here’s what you can expect:

• A wide variety of animals: Bid on rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks, and possibly more!
• An opportunity to support local youth: The auction proceeds help fund scholarships for hardworking 4-H members.
• High-quality animals: Every creature up for auction has been recognized for its excellence.

Are you thinking about bidding? Come early to get a good look at the animals! Previewing starts at 4 PM in the Farm Progress Arena. Bidder registration takes place at the same location between 3 PM and 4 PM.

Even if you’re not interested in bidding, you’re welcome to come and watch the auction! It’s a great way to see adorable animals, support these young people’s achievements, and enjoy the excitement of the auction. The show will be available as a live stream and recorded on our YouTube channel.
