Silent Auction
10:00 am to 1:00 pm
The FFA Farm Toy and Craft Show silent auction is a main event that you won't want to miss. There will be over 40 items to choose from —most of which are donated by our toy and craft show vendors. The money made from the silent auction helps the Alumni to support Forreston's FFA program and to provide scholarships for college-bound graduating FFA Forreston High School students.
FFA Alumni Food Stand
9:00 am to 1:30 pm
The Forreston FFA Alumni boasts one of the best lunch stands in the area. Our food coordinators, Deb Bauman and Becky Miller, have had a lot of satisfied customers who are served delicious meat products from Eickman's Meats of Seward and homemade desserts like apple pie, brownies, and monster cookies. We have some great meal deals, too, so bring the whole family for lunch!
Above is a collector’s model car that will be in our silent auction on March 9, 2024. It is signed by race car driver Chad Little.
