Auction to benefit Fayette 4-H
Fayette County 4-H will hold its Second Annual 4-H Youth Benefit Auction at the 2007 Fayette County Fair in the 4-H Youth Building at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Volunteers are working hard to secure auction items from various local venders such as the State Theatre Center for the Arts, Allen’s Haunted Hayride and Gene and Boots Candy.
Pittsburgh attractions such as the Pittsburgh Pirates, Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium and the Pittsburgh Penguins also are being contacted for donations.
Last year’s auction raised more than $4,000.
The money was used to award scholarships to five 4-H members to attend regional, state, and national leadership and citizenship development events, as well as to provide educational programs and resources for the 2007 members, volunteers, and 4-H school enrichment programs reaching at-risk youth in Fayette County.
Those wishing to donate an item for the auction or wanting to volunteer may call Penn State Cooperative Extension in Fayette County at 724-438-0111.
