DARKE COUNTY – The Darke County Jr Fair Poultry Committee will be selling 10 baskets at the 2025 Darke Jr Fair.

The baskets will be on display in the Darke County Junior Fair Poultry Barn starting Friday, August 15th at 5:00 pm and 5 baskets will be sold at a live auction during the fancy poultry show on Saturday, August 16th at 12:30 pm and additional 5 baskets will be sold on Sunday, August 17th at 2:00 pm during the meat show. Both live auctions will take place in the poultry barn and Brian Rismilller will serve as the auctioneer.

The baskets will be donated by Ed and Cindy Mayo, Larry & Amy Addis, Jeff and Dena Wuebker, Marlene Dirksen, Brian and Trisha Subler, Cody Stump and Holli Shuttleworth, Todd and Maria Moore, Trisha and Seubert family and Tyler and Courtney Greer-Leis Realty

The funds from selling the baskets allow the Darke County Junior Fair Poultry Committee to award scholarships each year to graduate poultry exhibitors, make improvements to the poultry barn, award prizes for outstanding poultry exhibitors and purchase t-shirts for junior fair poultry exhibitors.

Please note if you have purchased a basket in the past, the process has changed this year and no baskets will be sold at the live auction or be offered online. If you purchase the basket, cash or checks can be made payable to the Darke County Junior Poultry Committee as a method of payment.

Please stop in the junior fair poultry barn during the 2025 Darke County Fair to help support the Jr Fair Poultry Department through the live auctions on Saturday, August 16th and Sunday, August 17th.
