The Mahomet-Seymour FFA program will host its second annual Dessert Auction and Dinner at Mahomet-Seymour High School on March 5 at 4:30 p.m. Tickets, which cost $6 can be purchased at the door before the event begins.
The money raised at the Dessert and Dinner Auction will be used to help curb the expenses the FFA program has to cover each year. FFA members participate in a variety of agricultural competitions throughout the state and often times, as students advance, they travel outside of Illinois to compete in National competitions.
Not only does each competition come with a participation fee, but students are often required to stay in hotels overnight or throughout the week.
The FFA program also helps younger students understand the importance of agriculture in our society through the MSJHS Ag Club and the PALS program. Students also host Ag Day in the spring.
Like most things in the Ag Department at Mahomet-Seymour High School, FFA members have developed the entire Desserts and Dinner Auction by finding an auctioneer, bakers, designing a marketing plan, and selling tickets.
