The Nicholas County 4-H livestock club has a long history of putting on the Youth Livestock Sale each September after the Kentucky State fair is over and the livestock projects from the summer are completed. This sale is hosted at the livestock pavilion and averages over 250 parents, family members, business personnel and community stakeholders in attendance. With using precautions related to COVID-19 it was decided that an in-person sale would not be safe and a virtual sale was implemented for the year. Youth drafted donation letters and made phone calls to supporters to obtain funds for the auction of their projects developing communication and public speaking skills. I designated specific times for each youth and their project to put together a video of them displaying their animal to be put into a presentation to be posted on our 4-H Facebook page. 14 youth from the county participated and raised an average of $3,000 for the sale of their project.
