4-H Livestock Super Sale

Super Sale Livestock Auction Bill

I want to first thank all of you for your past support of the Hendricks County 4-H Program. This year we are back to our new normal of a fair!! 4-Her’s will be showing their animals as normal with a few changes to show days and times. We are so happy to be able to give 4-Her’s that real 4-H experience. We have plenty of activities going on throughout the week and would love to see you at the fair. Please visit the website at www.4hcomplex.org, for more information.

Last year, although a hybrid auction, turned out to be another very successful year for the 4-Her’s that sold in the auction. Through the Auction Fund we raised over $85,000 that was able to be divided amongst all of the Auction 4-Her’s. We hope to be that successful again this year, but we definitely need your help.

With the success of the past couple of years auction wise and the ability to go back to a “normal” fair, we have come up with a new version called the Hendricks County Super Sale!! This will be a combination of our Buyer’s Bonanza and our past live in person animals getting sold.

  1. 1st year through 9th year 4-Her’s will be selling their animals virtually. You will be able to do “Add-on’s” for any 4-Her you would like just as always in the past.
  2. 10th year 4-Her’s are going to be able to bring their live animals into the ring for auction sale! One half of the proceeds for their sale will be kept by the 4-Her and the other half will go into the Super Sale fund to be distributed to all participants.
  3. The Fairboard will compile an “Super Sale” bill and it should be available on the website by Sunday, July 17th. You will be able to go to our website at www.4hcomplex.org and download or view a copy of it. On it will be all of the information needed to see what 4-Hers are selling what animals. New for this year, there will also be pictures of the 4-Her’s with their animals.
  4. We will have the option of allowing you to donate to a specific 4-Her, through the use of “Add-on’s” just as we have in the past. We will have a form online that you will be able to fill out and submit, or if preferred, print, fill out and email or drop off. With the use of “Add-on’s”, we will send you a receipt with the relevant information of the 4-Her and you will be able to send your check directly to them, again, the same as we have in the past. The “Add-on” form will have boxes that will need to be filled in from information in the “Auction Bill”. Forms will be available for submission from Sunday 7/18 through Saturday 7/24 @ 7:00 p.m.
  5. We are also once again doing our Auction fund, but now dubbed the “Super Sale Fund”. This fund is created for all of you to have the opportunity to give to many of the 4-Hers. This fund will be used to distribute to 4-Her’s that participate in the virtual and live sale. The funds will be distributed evenly amongst all of the 4-Her’s in the Super Sale.
  6. There will be a link on the website at www.4hcomplex.org to click to be able to donate to the “Super Sale Fund”. This should be live by Saturday, July 16th. We will email out links when they go live.
