(KNZA)--Plans are underway for annual Brown County Spotlight Auction.  

The Spotlight Auction, a fundraiser for the Brown County Fair, is scheduled to air live on KNZA 103.9 FM March 15 and 16.  

Brown County Extension Agent Matt Young said with the financial strain COVID-19 has placed on many local businesses, they are suggesting this year that you purchase gift cards from your favorite business and then donate the gift card to the Spotlight Auction to re-sell as a Brown County Fair fundraiser.  Young said that way you're helping to keep your local businesses open and supporting 4-H at the same time.  

He said donated items need to be turned in to the Extension Office by Friday, February 5.  

Those with questions can call the Brown County Extension Office at 785-742-7871
