The 2016 Brown County Youth Fair wrapped up Saturday night with the annual awards and premium sale and the crowning of this year’s Miss Brown County Fair Association.
The evening began with Alex Hetzel of Brownwood FFA being crowned Miss BCFA.
Top buyer awards for 2015 were presented to Grooms Feed and Seed, Landmark Life, and Circle B Bar Ranch and Bob’s Fuels.
The Steve Rumfeld Memorial Scholarship was presented by the Rumfeld family. This $500 scholarship was awarded to Codi Perkins of Zephyr FFA.
Although not part of the auction, grand and reserve champion winners along with showmanship winners of the Horse Division were also recognized for their participation and hard work.
The auction was the main event of the evening, with an arena packed with buyers along with supporting family and friends. Each livestock exhibitor was allowed to sell one animal which made the sale by placing in the top 75% of their competing class during the fair in the market animal divisions, with the exception of the market rabbits division where the grand and reserve champions along with the third and fourth places sell.
The auction began with all Grand and Reserve Champions setting new records in sales amounts this year.
