DCLA Youth Livestock Auction Donation

The 2020 Denton County Youth Fair and Auction sale scheduled to be held April 20th-25th, 2020 has been canceled due to the current guidelines of the Center of Disease Control as proactive measures against the spread of COVID-19. As you can imagine, this was a very difficult decision to make as it does not change the hours of work and financial load our exhibitors are continuing to put into their projects. Our youth work very hard preparing their animals and agricultural mechanics projects and are disappointed that they do not get the chance to show them this year. For most of these kids, the Denton County Youth Fair is a special time to not only show their projects but to enjoy the fellowship and spirit that can only be found at the county show.

This year we had over 400 exhibitors and their projects that would have exhibited during this week competing for the 190 coveted Auction lots. Although there will be no formal sale, we are asking our past contributors to consider still allocating the funds you have spent in the past purchasing at our sale so that we may be able to relieve some of the financial burdens that are affecting these kids. The money collected will be divided amongst the youth across the county to help them offset their project expenses from this year. It is more important than ever that we enable our youth to be active in the agricultural industry. The future of our dinner table and so much more depends on the interests we are fostering today.

As always, any contributions collected will be tax-deductible. We truly appreciate you being a continued supporter of the time-honored Denton County Youth Fair that has been supporting youth in agriculture since 1975. As parents of exhibitors and community members, our #1 goal is to encourage our youth by providing them with opportunities to better themselves. Thank you again for your interest in supporting our exhibitors.
