Fair Board announces quarter auction

VW County Fair Board information

A new fundraiser for free entertainment at the 2014 Van Wert County Fair has been announced by the Fair Board.

A quarter auction will be held on Thursday, April 17, at the Junior Fair Building. The doors will open at 5 p.m. with the auction beginning at 6 that evening. Another fun offering will be duck races held during the auction with the first duck race starting at 6:30 p.m.

Quarter auctions are a fun way to bid and try to win quality items for a small amount of money. There will be a wide variety of donated gifts, decorations and merchandise available to bid on. The Fair Board will also be selling picnic type food during the auction as another source of fundraising.

At the annual county fair, the Van Wert County Fairgrounds, through donations and fundraising events, offers nearly $20,000 of events during the fair to all fairgoers. The new quarter auction will be another opportunity to enjoy a great evening of fun with family and friends.

Those who have not attended a quarter auction should plan to attend this event.  It will be the best fun for a bid of just a few quarters for items that one would like to take home.
