(Atlantic, IA) – The Cass County Fair Board will host their 2nd Annual Cass County Fair Dinner Auction and Fundraiser at the Cass County Community Center in Atlantic, on February 7th. The Fair Board says their goal with the fundraiser is to raise enough money to offset the increasing prices of food, entertainment and general operating costs, so all extra funds earned (through sponsors, donors, grants, etc.) can go towards making our fair even bigger and better in the near coming years. That means adding more activities, more entertainment, more memory-making fun. Board officials say it’s a new way to raise money for the fair, in addition to their traditional sponsorship opportunities.

Every dollar made goes right back into our fair. Funds are used to provide:

• Livestock bedding
• Toilet paper and cleaning supplies
• Trophies and awards
• Food and food stand supplies
• General supplies (ranging from something like wasp spray to random bolts)
• General operating costs (such as electricity, insurance, water)
• Exhibit judges
• Daytime and evening entertainment
• Daily activities
• Advertising and promotions
• Repairs and maintenance at/of the food stands
• Trash service
• Portable toilets
• Hand washing stations
• and signage to name but a few of the uses for the funds raised.

The Cass County Fair Board says they are “humbled to have had such immense community support since the beginning over 100 years ago.” The dinner and fundraising auction Feb. 7th features a delicious dinner, exciting live and silent auctions, live music, and a fun night with friends, neighbors, and community supporters. Proceeds from the dinner auction help fund fair activities and entertainment and keep the whole thing 100% FREE to all fairgoers.

The event begins with a social at 5:30pm with music and drinks, with the dinner at 6:30pm, and auction to follow. For more information, go to https://casscofairia.com/dinnerfundraiser
