Celebration Sale at Porter County Fair 2024
Published: August 8, 2024A year’s worth of hard work came to fruition for many 4-H children on Thursday, July 25 as they proudly showcased their livestock during the Porter County Fair’s annual Celebration Sale. Held at the Porter County Fairgrounds, the Celebration Sale allows 4-H children ages 9-18 to care for and auction off livestock of their choice for money and valuable life lessons along the way.
Leading up to the big event, children select the livestock they wish to exhibit at the fair – poultry, swine, rabbits, beef, dairy steers, dairy milk, goats, and/or sheep – and spend the year caring for their four-legged friend prior to the Celebration Sale. Once the day of the sale arrives, the children spruce up their animals for the auction, where they compete before a judge and offer up their livestock for public purchase.
This year’s Celebration Sale saw extraordinary success and achieved record breaking sales reaching well over half a million dollars.
