The Grant County Fair Youth Livestock Auction netted upwards of $500,000, more than $200,000 than last year.

Shannon Springer, Grant County Auction Committee treasurer, said while she does not know if this year’s number broke a record, she said this was the most money the auction has brought in since she has been on the committee.

Scott Officer, who awards a student in 4-H or FFA with the Delly Officer Memorial for courtesy and sportsmanship, presented the award to Parker Manitsas. Officer said Manitsas was nominated three times for the honor.

Officer said a three-person panel interviews each nominee. Typically, he said it is a four-person panel, but this year it was three. The winner is usually presented with a pocket knife and a trophy with a hunter safety message, but he could not order it this year. So Manitsas was presented with the award.

Officer said the award is in memory of his “brother and best friend” Delly, who was accidentally shot by a hunter in 1984.

Springer shared a summary of the number of animals sold and the total dollar amount the auction brought in.
