The Erick FFA Labor Auction will be this coming Tuesday, February 18th, beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the Erick High School Cafeteria. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for students. Children 5 and under are free. Students will be available to the highest bidder and the buyer will receive 8 hours of labor from the student. Asasidenote, this labor auction is the biggest fundraiser for the chapter and goes towards classroom, shop and contest supplies. It also helps with hotel and convention fees among other items for the students.
Sympathy is extended to the family of Dave Fuhs, former owner of the Branding Iron Bar, which is now Trendy Wendy’s.
