(KNZA)--The annual Brown County Fair Spotlight Auction brought in more than $15,500 this week. 

The Spotlight Auction, broadcast Monday and Tuesday evenings on KNZA 103.9 FM, featured nearly 250 items—mostly donated by area businesses—with bids taken by phone. 

Auction organizers say the sales brought in about 85 percent of the items’ retail value.  

Proceeds from the auction will help fund the 2026 Brown County Fair, set for July 11th through 17th at the fairgrounds in Horton. This year’s fair theme is “Choosing Your Dreams at the Brown County Fair.”
