Course in Denver, Lancaster
County.
Thanks to an overwhelming
response from sponsors and gol

haven’t been made, it is too late.
But it is not too late to mate
reservations for attending the
evening dinner and auction.

quite an event on its own.

the $25 dinner/auction ticket price,
according to a news release made
this week.
According to Pennsylvania FFA
Foundation President Glenn Wen

auction-only reservations are
available.
In addition to the standard auc

Thinking about ordering irrigation equipment or grain bins late in
the growing season? Why not lock in the price now with a lease?

FFA members and invited guests
to participating. It is co-sponsored
by Hatfield Quality Meats and
AT&T.
According to Sherk, the morn
ing activity was created to allow
FFA members to continue to parti
cipate in golfing, while freeing up
slots for the afternoon tournament
“This tournament is ultimately
about the FFA members,” Sherk
said. “Hatfield has always been
very involved with the afternoon
'tournament. Joining up with
AT&T, they have the morning golf
event possible, which allows to
keep FFA members involved and
accommodate a full field in the
afternoon event.”
