The Clayton County 4-H Omelet Brunch & Silent Auction was held March 5 at Johnson’s Reception Hall in Elkader. This annual event is sponsored by the 4-H County Council and Extension 4-H & Youth Development Committee. This event is a one of the ways 4-H members showcase their program and the youth & volunteers who make it happen. 550 people were served omelets, toast, muffins, applesauce, milk, coffee and juice. Forty-four items were donated for the auction by clubs, members, families and 4-H alumni raised $3223. Winning bids ranged from $15 to $275. The proceeds will be used to maintain and promote 4-H & Youth activities in Clayton County and pay part of the Iowa 4-H Youth Development fees.
