4-H Auction Coming Quickly


A benefit auction and plate sale for the 4-H program in Richmond County will be held on March 5th at Browder Park in Rockingham, North Carolina. Proceeds will be used locally to support leadership and youth development through programs ranging from school enrichment programs, to summer camps, to Summer Fun classes, to leadership trainings, to club activities.

Spaghetti plates will be available for sale at $6 from 5 pm to 7 pm.  Come on out & eat dinner with us while looking back at what our 4-H’ers have done over the past year & browse Auction items too. 

We have collected a wide variety of items so far!  There will be something for everyone at the Auction, from gas tanks & home decorations to dresses & a beach condo rental! We also have a number of gift certificates to auction, including dinners at your favorite local restaurants and nights away from the house at some of the best places to rest your head in Richmond County!

Special thanks to FirstHealth of Richmond County for sponsoring drinks the event and Tom McInnis and associates of Iron Horse Auction Company, Inc who will be conducting the auction at no charge to the 4-H program.
