HOUSTON COUNTY – The Houston County Fair and Youth Livestock Show Sale of Champions was originally scheduled for Friday, April 3. The COVID-19 virus had other ideas, however, and the 2020 fair was cancelled.

As a result, the Houston County Fair Association (HCFA) decided to move the sale to an online platform to help the exhibitors recoup some of the money they had poured into the livestock.

The auction was conducted by Wal-Lee Auction Company with Trinity County Sheriff Woody Wallace serving as auctioneer.

According to HCFA Secretary Beverly Moore, “The total sale premium was $103,750. We didn’t take any add-ons during the sale but we are taking add-ons until April 24. We had a lot of new buyers and some tenured buyers who participated in the online auction. I know that it was a lot for us to ask of the buyers, especially those that are not tech savvy, but they pushed through. We are very proud of the supporters of this county show.”
