Overnight Permission Form
Staying overnight in the barns during the Wayne County Fair is NO LONGER PERMITTED - therefore, the Overnight Permission Form has been discontinued.
Livestock Auction Information
All exhibitors selling their animal(s) at the Junior Fair livestock sales MUST send a thank you note to the buyer(s) AND add-on contributors BEFORE they can receive their checks.
Thank you notes are to be delivered to the Extension Office in a stamped, sealed and completely addressed envelope, along with THE JR. FAIR EXHIBITORS NAME WRITTEN IN THE RETURN ADDRESS beginning Monday, Sept. 22nd
Checks for the sale of market animals will be sent around October 25, 2025 to members only after thank you notes have been turned in to the Extension Office. Checks must be cashed within 90 days.
Buyer Invitations
If you have serious potential buyers, have them contact the Extension Office for a pass to get in on sale days. If you are selling a market animal or showing a dairy animal you need to get out and promote the market or dairy products sales.
2025 Buyers Letters
A buyer’s letter is a letter that a 4-H member sends out to potential buyers before the fair to tell them a little about themselves and their animal, and to invite them to the fair and livestock auction.
Many buyers have told us that they love personal letters from the 4-H and FFA members.
