Heat forces tomorrow's 4-H Auction to the air conditioned 4-H Center Building
By Jennifer Zartman Romano
Extreme heat has forced a change at this year's Whitley County 4-H Fair -- a change most supporters of the livestock auction will likely appreciate.
Typically held in the show barn, this year's livestock auction will be held in the air conditioned 4-H Center Building. While the animals will not be inside the building during the auction, the 4-H members will be there.
Organizers hope the cooler accommodations will enable more people to attend the auction. They feared the drastic weather situation could have caused buyers to stay home this year.
The Whitley County 4-H Livestock Auction will begin at 10 a.m. Thursday, July 21, 2011, in the 4-H Center Building and will continue until approximately 8 p.m.
