The Sheboygan County Fair hosted the annual Meat Animal Sale
Thursday, September 1st at the Coliseum. This is the second year
purchasers can donate meat to local food pantries through the Sheboygan
and Plymouth Area United Way. Last year six hogs and one steer were
donated, processed and distributed to Sheboygan County food pantries.
Funds raised by the event go to a scholarship/education fund for those
pursuing agricultural education and to livestock area improvements for
the fair grounds.
Teresa Van Horn of Van Horn Chevrolet purchased a 284 lb hog, which
she donated to the Sheboygan and Plymouth Area United Way. We are proud
to be able to help our local food pantries stock their shelves and feed
needy adults and children in our area!
The Meat Animal Sale has been able to provide many scholarships
throughout the years feeding the minds of students preparing for their
future in agriculture. Purchasers can help feed the community thorough
their animal donation to local food pantries. The Meat Animal Sale will
continue to impact students and our community in positive ways for years
to come!
