Proceeds from a consignment auction/garage sale will be going to spruce up the fairgrounds, according to Bryan Franklin, president of the 4-H Corporation Board.

Items for the consignment auction, which is set for March 25 at 10:30 a.m. are now being accepted. Franklin noted that items less than $250 will pay 8%; above $250 will pay 6%, with the buy back fee being $25.00. If you want any large items listed in the sale bill, you will need to call the extension office by March 6, at 689-6511. The sale will be advertised in Farm World and local newspapers.

Items can be brought to the fairgrounds at Osgood on Saturday, March 11, and March 18, from 8:00 a.m until noon. There will people there to help unload large items. Also, items for sale can be brought to the fairgrounds Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. For special arrangements, call the fairground office at 689-6511.
