How to resolve AdBlock issue? 
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – For decades, Labor Day weekend has meant the Lake County Fair and one of its highlights, the Junior Livestock Auction.
However, with COVID-19 this year forcing the fair’s cancellation, Fair CEO Sheli Wright and the fair board worked to find an alternative for the young people who have spent the past year raising livestock for the show and auction.
The result is an online auction for the Junior Livestock Auction and metal fabrication projects.
The auction at www.stockshowauctions.com will begin at 3 p.m. Friday. It will continue until 6 p.m. Sunday.
There are nearly 150 animals and projects for sale during the auction.
Organizers have made sure there was still a show component for the young people and their animals.
On Wednesday, the goat and lamb exhibitors for the Lake County Junior Livestock Auction did a great job showing their animals and following social protocol in the unique structure of a difficult year, Wright reported.
When asked, Wright said exhibitors reported they have been using YouTube, Zoom and other forms of social media to interact and learn how to care and show their animals.
With no one in the stands and one parent allowed the event was small but the kids had a great time, Wright said.
