The Whiteside County 4-H Support Fund Board will sponsor a silent auction during the 4-H Show. Gordon Kelm, board president, approached the 4-H leaders during their March meeting, and many of them pledged that their club would supply a basket of items for this fundraiser. Money raised from this event will go towards, achievement awards and scholarships available through the Whiteside County 4-H Support Fund.

All baskets for the auction will be at the Extension Office, where they will remain their until the 4-H Show, available to be bid on at anytime. Just a few of the items available through the silent auction are toy tractors, garden basket, cattle supplies, Baking Basket, Candlelight gift certificate, Wal-Mart Gift Certificate, A Night out at the Movies Basket, Culvers Galore, and much, much more. Winners of the silent auction will be announced after the Sale of Champions at the grandstand on Thursday evening, July 17. Winning bidders need not be present, but must pick up their baskets at the Extension Office. They will not be delivered.

Pictures of the baskets will be displayed throughout the whole 4-H Show with a bidding sheet with each one. Items will be available to be seen live on Thursday, July 17th during the BBQ in the brown building.
