The Adair County 4-H Program will be holding its 14th 4-H Country Ham Auction that will take place on Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025, starting at 5:30 p.m. at the Adair County Cooperative Extension Service located at 409 Fairground Street. This year, we have 34 4-H Youth who will be auctioning off their hams.
Each youth will design a basket that will go along with the ham they produced. Each youth will create a ham gift basket that will be auctioned off along with the ham they produce. The hams have been produced by the youth as part of their 4-H Country Ham project.
Proceeds from the ham auction will be divided as follows:
90 percent of the total proceeds will be equally divided between the youth who auction off hams.
10 percent of the total proceeds will go to a Country Ham scholarship. Each year, a graduating senior who participates in the ham project may apply. Up to three $300.00 scholarships will be awarded.
We hope you will help support our local 4-H youth by participating in our 14th 4-H Country Ham auction. Just show up just before 5:30 p.m. on November 6 to participate. Rumor has it that the hams are very tasty this year, so don’t miss out.
