Proceeds from the sale will go toward 4-H programming.

"Usually we get a couple thousand dollars out of it every year, and that really helps us, like I said, with our in-school programs and all of our 4-H programs throughout the year. Usually, it's like a basket for movies, or a grilling basket, or some of our dog clubs bring in dog care baskets and things like that," said Kelly Coble, Allen County 4-H educator.

The way it works is you write down a bid and come back throughout the fair to see if you need to bid again to try and win the basket. Bidding will end at 3 p.m. on Saturday, August 24th.
