The Oakland County Farm Bureau is offering an opportunity to assist with marketing and promoting your fair project in order to broaden the reach of youth buyer letters and raise awareness of the livestock auctions in our community.

Youth exhibitors are invited to share their buyer letters with Oakland County Farm Bureau. As letters are received, they will be added to a common folder that Farm Bureau agents and members can utilize to share with local businesses, community members, and potential supporters throughout Oakland County.

To participate, please submit your buyer letters (in PDF format only) to: [email protected]

Check out the link to view youth buyer's letters and auction information: https://www.michfb.com/events/oakland-county-fair-youth-shows-auctions
