Kevin Killey Says Warren County Fair’s 19th Annual Premium Auction was Record Setting

Share

43 livestock exhibitors were featured during the 19th Annual Premium Livestock Auction at the 2023 Warren County Agricultural Fair, which Kevin Killey called it the best auction the fair has had:

“I don’t have official numbers, but I think it was the best auction we have ever had. We had about $31,000 come in for the individual auction, plus we had a Friends of the Fair account that was already set up and it had about $13,500, so we had about $44,000, a little more than that, and all that money is going to the kids for their livestock projects. I think that was a record high number.”

The 2023 Warren County Agricultural Fair wraps up this Saturday, July 22nd with the Junior Beef Breeding, Open Bucket Calf, and Junior Steer shows, followed by the Figure 8 races in the grandstands.
