4-H Country Ham Auction- November 6, 2025
There will be 34 4-H youth Country Hams for this year in the in-person 4-H Country Ham Auction. We are looking for people or businesses that would be interested in bidding and purchasing the ham gift baskets at this year's auction. If you are interested in potentially attending as a buyer, contact Tony Rose at 270-384-2317 or by email at trose@uky.edu.
The Adair County 4-H Program will be holding its 14th 4-H Country Ham Auction that will take place on Thursday, November 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.
