Livestock Auction
Tonight the Fair gave back. Gave back to the community and school-age exhibitors who show blue-ribbon winning livestock. The 106th Kentucky State Fair’s 4-H and FFA Sale of Champions concluded this evening with $124,500 raised during the live auction, the third largest sum raised in its 31-year history.
The winning steers, hogs, lambs and goats featured in the Sale of Champions are exhibited by 4-H and FFA members during the Kentucky State Fair.
