For many a youngster, the culmination of a year’s effort will be at the small and large animal auctions at the Kenosha County Fair.
The large animal sale starts at 1 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 20. The small animal sale takes place Sunday, Aug. 21, starting at 1:30 p.m.
The fair puts the purpose of the auctions as:
- Promote the development of young people.
- Develop a clear understanding and appreciation of the livestock-meat industry.
- Teach young people skills in livestock/meat production.
- Promote quality meat.
- Provide an opportunity to promote the importance of the livestock and small animal industry to rural and urban business communities.
- Develop responsibility in young people.
