Duane Johnson talks to Josh Shafer before beginning to take bids for his services.
A higher number than usual (42) Vinton-Shellsburg FFA members and a group of generous farm operators and business leaders combined to make the 2013 FFA Labor Auction the chapter's best ever.
By the time all 43 auctions (including the finale for Mrs. Louise Fleming, now in her third year at VS) had concluded, the event tallied a total of $14,625.
The proceeds help fund the chapter's trips and contests and other activities throughout the year. Along with the holiday fruit sales it is one of the main fund-raising events of the year. Each participant agrees to work at least 8 hours for the winning bidder.
Auctioneer Duane Johnson has led the auctions for well over 30 years.
