Farm News: Impressive Showcase Auction Coming

comments

Posted: 08.04.2011

It's a list of items that any household can use - in moderation at least!

Featuring 25 truckloads of Wisconsin products and services - the 2011 Annual Summer Showcase Auction for the Wisconsin Agribusiness Council (WAC) literally has something for everyone.

Ferron Havens, President of the WAC says,
“You really don’t want to miss this auction. We have such a variety, from traditional farm items to Packer tickets and recreational events; from potatoes and vegetables to meat, cheese and beverages; from clothing to toys, and everything else in-between. I think you will find something of interest for everyone in the family. Our Ag Business community has been very generous, and we hope that you will all join us in raising money to educate the public about the value of agriculture.”  

There's a new location for the auction this year too!  The event will be held at the spacious and air conditioned Alliant Energy Center Exhibition Hall, with FREE Parking and Admission. For a list of all the donated items, please go to our website at www.wisagri.com. Havens said, “The list is added to daily, so check back regularly. We’d love to have you all attend the auction for the live bidding, but if you can’t make it please email or call your advanced bid in to us.”
 
The monies raised through this auction are used to support the Agribusiness Council’s agricultural education projects- which include our educational books: The ABC’s of Agriculture, The Business Called Agriculture, and An Agricultural Career for You. These materials are provided at no cost to teachers and students throughout Wisconsin.  In addition, the funds help provide other educational events and activities throughout the state.
 
The Wisconsin Agribusiness Council is a membership organization for agribusinesses in Wisconsin. The Council, and its educational foundation, the Wisconsin Agribusiness Foundation, strive to educate consumers on the importance of our agricultural industry to their everyday lives and to provide the industry with a voice at the state level.
 
If you’d like more information about the auction, our educational materials, or membership and sponsorship opportunities please call Ferron Havens at 608-235-1799 or email fhavenswac@mhtc.net.
