The event's fundraising component will include live and silent auctions, a quilt raffle, and a 50/50 raffle. The quilt that will be raffled off was made from quilt squares that exhibitors entered for the 2023 Fair Competition. The live auction will highlight a one-of-a-kind Clay County Fair commissioned painting by Ben Schuh. The commissioned artwork will be featured exclusively on the live auction. The silent auction is available online, and potential bidders do not need to attend the event to participate in the silent auction.
Providing entertainment again for the event will be local favorite Ryan Sather.
