Even stormy weather didn’t keep fair goers from attending the annual Sweet Tooth Auction at the Lawrence County Fair.

Although the auction, which sells homemade baked goods prepared by junior 4-H members, had to be delayed due to weather, the event was a hit with family members and local officials who came out to satisfy their sweet tooth and support 4-H members.

“It went real well,” said Randall Lambert, president of the fair board. “Attendance was good.”

Monday’s auction raised $1,220 for the junior 4-H members who use the auction as a way to raise money for the Clover Buds, young 4-H members participating in the fair. The money raised goes into a fund to help Clover Buds with future 4-H fair activities and educational trips.

The 4-H members help run events at the fair and provide support for fair staff.

“(The 4-H members) commit themselves to the fair,” said Lambert.

The auction, which Lambert said has grown over the years, sets an annual goal of raising a thousand dollars and thanks to generous bidding, hasn’t had trouble reaching its goal in recent years.

Lambert estimated the highest selling item this year was sold for close to $100 with the average bidding on items starting at $30.
