EUREKA, CA (September 19, 2024) — Compass Community Credit Union is pleased to support local students by providing add-on bids for the Jr. Livestock Auction at the Humboldt County Fair. Projects include raising steers, lambs, goats, and hogs. These students are required to select an animal, purchase, feed, and groom the livestock to be judged, graded, and eventually sold at the fair auction.
The Humboldt County Fair Junior Livestock Auction and Barbeque was held on August 25, 2024. At the end of the auction, individuals and organizations can provide donations in the form of an add-on bid. Compass Community Credit Union was proud to support six students, all members of the credit union. Students invest a year’s worth of hard work for their project and proceeds are reinvested into student’s projects or set aside for future educational expenses. Some students are independent, while others are involved in the FFA, 4-H, or Grange.
“I am honored we could support the Humboldt County Fair Junior Livestock Auction again this year by providing six students with an add-on bid. The amount of time and dedication these students put towards their animals is astonishing,” said Compass Community Credit Union CEO, Ray Litchfield. “These students work hard all year preparing for this auction. As a result, they will walk away with valuable skills that they will be able to use for the rest of their lives.”
Compass Community Credit Union serves members in Humboldt, Del Norte and Trinity counties. Membership is open to anyone who lives, works or worships in these three counties. For over 73 years, Compass Community Credit Union has been providing financial solutions to their members. For more information, visit Compassccu.org.
