The basket consists of a 4-foot lighted tree covered with homemade ornaments and scratch off lottery tickets and various other Christmas decorations, including a handmade stained glass candle holder, a hand-stitched Santa & reindeer and a handmade tree skirt.
Their basket, and others, can be seen in the Junior Fair Building during fair week. Bidding on the baskets ends Saturday evening of the fair. Proceeds from the basket auction support the 4-H program county-wide.
