Auction at fairgrounds to benefit 4-H
The 4-H Benefit Auction will begin at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 18 in the Show Tent at the Washington County Fairgrounds.
The event supports the 4-H program of Washington County, which is one of the largest youth development programs in the country. Money raised by the auction benefits nearly 2,000 youth in 4-H-sponsored programs throughout the year, such as leadership development activities, life-skill programs and regional and state educational competitions.
Among the items to be auctioned off are tickets to the Carnegie Science Museum and passes to the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. There also will be store and restaurant certificates, livestock supplies, back-to-school supplies, holiday decorations, gift baskets and a lottery tree.
Donations for the auction are still being accepted. Items can be dropped off at the fairgrounds, or arrangements can be made for pickup.
