The silent auction will begin at 10 AM Thursday and conclude at 5 PM Thursday evening. Silent auction winners will be notified by phone on Thursday. Example: If you enter pumpkin bread in Dept A, Class 2, Lot 7 and would like to have it in the silent auction, after judging is completed, the food superin- tendent will take one slice to use for display during the fair and set the remaining loaf on a table for the silent auction. The pumpkin bread slice on display for the fair will be on a disposable plate and covered with plastic wrap. If you are interested in donating your baked good to the silent auction, there will be a short form for you to sign at the food department booth. If you have any questions, please contact the fair superintendent or the fair office.
