The deadline for buyers to make Add-On’s was 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 12th.
As of October 23rd, the OSU Extension Office sent buyer lists for each exhibitor to the organizational advisor of each club. Exhibitors should check with their advisor to receive their list. Thank you notes should be written for each buyer on your list (premium sale buyers, packer, and add-on’s). Please take the time to thoughtfully thank these individuals, businesses, and organizations who generously support all 4-H and FFA youth by attending the Livestock Sales. Tips for writing thank you notes.
Livestock Sale checks will be tentatively available in December. Advisors will be notified when they will be ready for pickup.

Show your appreciation for the livestock buyers by making a poster thanking them for their support by participating in the poster contest sponsored by the Fairfield County Junior Fair Board. Exhibitors may enter a poster as an individual or as a club/chapter. Posters will be displayed during the week in the Feeder Creek Show Arena. Cash prizes will be awarded! Cloverbud members are also welcome to participate!
All posters must be dropped off October 5th or 6th to the Junior Fair Office during office hours.
The Livestock Sale Committee is excited to share the return of the Buyer Refreshment Tent at the fair for our Livestock Sale Buyers. Thank you to Susan Foltz and family for their leadership once again to make this happen.
A few things are needed to help provide items to buyers. If you are able to donate these items, please email Leslie Cooksey at cooksey.25@osu.edu. Additionally, items can be dropped off at the Extension Office (now through fair week) OR once the fair starts, they can be dropped off at the Junior Fair Office during office hours.
