The Elkhart County 4-H Fair has launched its 2021 Spring Fundraiser.

Formerly known as Adult Prom and Grand Champion Gala, the fundraiser supports the Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds and its non-profit mission of supporting the 4-H program.

Due to the pandemic, this year’s fundraiser is completely virtual, with a live auction.

Auction items are currently available for viewing at gala.4hfair.org, and will open for bidding at 10 a.m. on March 12. The auction will close at 8 p.m. on March 20.

Proceeds from this year’s auction will be split between the continued fundraising efforts for a multi-use pavilion, and the fair’s operating expenses.

The fairgrounds lost 95% of their typical revenue in 2020 due to the pandemic.
