🍀 What an AMAZING and SUCCESSFUL 2026 Monrovia 4-H Fair!

Our members worked hard and we are so grateful to each of them that took time out of their day to exhibit and participate in our local fair.

Our 2026 Silent Auction was held to benefit a local family and community member, Rhett Rhea. Because of the generous donations from members and local businesses, we were able to raise $2,497 to help with Rhett's growing medical bills.

We also received many generous financial donations for Rhett and his family totaling $2,138.75.

With both financial donations and the total of the Silent Auction, the Monrovia 4-H club raised a grand total of $4,635.75 for Rhett and his family. We hope that the Rhea family feels the love and support from the community.

We have some amazing supporters in our community, and it was evident at our 2026 Monrovia Local Fair.

We'd like to first and foremost thank Ted Everett Auctioneers for the use of their facility to host this annual event. Without the use of the auction barn, it would be very difficult to host such a large event in a period of one day.

We'd also like to thank all of our Silent Auction Donors and Buyers. These are people and businesses that have shown up for our club, our community, and the Rhea Family and we ask that YOU work to support them because they truly support their community and members in need.

Silent Auction Donors are:
- Jim Henderson
- Hot Rod's Barber Shop
- Pheifer Saw Shop
- Fish Family
- Farm House Brew
- Light Memorial & Funeral Chapel
- Mabry’s Boutique
- Halee Rhea
- Honkomp Family
- Mt. Pleasant Church of Hall CWF
- Crone’s Farm Fresh Market
- Three Sisters
- Nancy's Hardware
- Hoosier
- Greggy D'S
- Heritage Professional Landscaping, Inc.
- Subway of Monrovia
- Hair Station on 42
- Orchard Country Store
- K & M Equipment
- Skin & Tonics Spa

Silent Auction Buyers are:
- Jane Crone
- Dustin Crone
- Jessica Fish
- Kayleigh Blake
- Nora Crone
- Robert & Matt Blake
- Brady Crone
- Elizabeth Schumake
- Emma Marsh
- Ryan Marsh
- Tim Fry
- Devon Fisher
- Peter Honkomp
- Mark Eckstein
- Steve Clark
- Jordan Gilkerson
- Rodney Pheifer

Financial Donors:
- Tim & Cory Fry
- Ruth Watson
- Mike Watson
- ABBA & Assoc, Diana Grindean
- Kim Heald
- Forrest Commodoties, Inc.
- Mike Marsh
- Tammy Everett
- Warren Riley
- Multiple unkown cash donors

A very special, THANK YOU, to Jordan Gilkerson for doing the final auctioning of the Silent Auction items.

Please be sure to THANK those who are mentioned here and SUPPORT their businesses, these are the ones that truly support our local community and without their generous donations and support this event would not have been as nearly successful as it was.

Thank you again for all bodies who participated and assisted in the set up, tear down, and working to acquire donations.

Our 4-H motto is "To Make the Best Better" and we believe that we have accomplished that this year.

Thank you again and we ask that you please share this post! 🍀
