This year's annual cake auction at the Carroll County 4-H/FFA Fair broke the previous record, earning $23,800.50 for the county program and other projects, said Beverly Abbott, one of the auction's organizers.

Of the total, $540 went to help send 4-Hers to the organizations National Congress in Florida this fall and $855 went to the Kimberly Baile Scholarship Fund, named for a 4-H member who died in a car accident about three years ago.
