There are two auction options for the 4-Hers this year, trying to accommodate our buyers and 4-H families, but the 4-H member could only sign-up for one auction.
B Bidmetzger.com will be the auction platform, which is the same as last year, so a buyer may already have an account. Buyer will need to enter the auction they wish to participate. There is an option to reset the login and password if needed on the website.
Buyers will have to Use the search bar in each auction to find the 4-Her you would like to support this year if participating On-Line.
o Search by 4-Her’s name, Parents Name, Projects Taken
o If utilizing the On-Line Option, buyers will need to register at bidmetzger.com.
