Please consider making a donation to the Corndog Kickoff Auction to help support Fairgrounds renovation projects. Donating an auction package consisting of your product or service is an excellent way to promote your company, as it will be seen - and bid on - by nearly 1,400 attendees.

Benefits for auction donors include complimentary tickets to the Corndog Kickoff (number of tickets based on value of donation) and publicity in event materials.

If you are interested in donating an auction item to the Kickoff, please fill out and return the donation form by May 5 for inclusion in our printed materials. Donated items are needed by June 25. If you have further questions about donating an auction item, please contact Robin.
