(KNZA)--This year's annual Brown County Fair Spotlight Auction was a big success, raising $15,533. That was almost $2,000 more than last year.  

The Spotlight Auction was broadcast Monday and Tuesday evenings over KNZA 103.9 FM, with bids taken by phone.  

More than 335 items, mostly donated by area businesses, were auctioned off during the two nights, bringing 92 percent of retail value.  

Proceeds from the auction will be used for operation of the 2022 Brown County Fair to be held July 9-15 at the fairgrounds in Horton.
