PHOTO GALLERY: Premium sale rounds out 2026 Youth Fair

Posted

The future leaders of the agriculture industry showcased all their hard work one last time at the Audrain County Youth Fair during the Premium Sale on July 20. Approximately 128 eligible participants auctioned off their livestock, ham and bacon in the ring at the livestock barn at the Audrain 4-H center. The community invested thousands into the young agriculturalists — money that will support their future agriculture endeavors as well as their education.
