Hired Hand Auction and Benefit Dinner Monday, April 15th at 7:00 p.m. With the recent floods, the Rock County FFA chapter would like to be part of the solution. We will be serving sloppy joes and salads and taking a free will donation. All proceeds from this meal will be given to local farmers and ranchers to help with rebuilding costs. The money will be distributed through the Region 24 Emergency Management Agency.
Along with the dinner, we also will be hosting our annual hired hand auction. Members in grades 9-12 will be auctioned off for 8 hours of labor. Money from this fundraiser will be used in the FFA's general fund to help pay for contest registrations and travel expenses.
ALL are welcome to attend!
