This is the fourth year I have had the priveledge to take digital images, make prints and produce a coffee table book for the annual 4-H Club and FFA in Lincoln County. What makes this even more enjoyable is seeing these young men and women growing up year after year.
The evening starts with the 4-H motto, Pledge of Allegiance, and a prayer. Dinner has been prepared by several of the women. This year it included, salad, rolls, beans, BBQ beef and dessert.
Once the dinner is completed the auctioneer starts the bidding on the first animal for sale. Different organizations or companies place their bid and the highest bidder has now purchased the pig, goat or cow.

If the animal wins at the regional or state competition, a higher price will probably be paid at that point.
The grounds for this 4-H and FFA gathering is tremendous. In the main building they have offices, rest rooms, kitchen and the large gathering room which includes a show area for the animal and owner.
Another building is open air on the sides for showmanship events. The third building houses the animals during these events. It is a first-class facility that everyone in Lincoln County is proud to use.
