On Tuesday December 10, 2013 the Vinton-Shellsburg FFA Chapter had their annual fruit sales delivery. Many members came to school early on this day to unload box after box of fruit, meat, cheese, and peanuts into the schools woods shop room.

This year we had $32,476.75 in total sales. We had twenty-six members reach their $500 goal, out of sixty-seven members that sold. We had one freshman sell over $1,000, one sophomore sell over $1,000, one junior sell over $1,000, four seniors sell over $1,000, and one senior sell over $2,000.

This year's top seller was Riley Ries (Junior), will a total sales of $3,150.75. Overall we had a great fruit sales year, and look forward to many great years to come!
