tion. Business owners and private
individuals turn out to support
area youth involved in FFA and
4-H.
But this year, the sale began not
with bidding, but with an award

Donald Stufft’s grand champion market swine for Hatfield
Quality Meats.

iel “Toby” Houser’s grand champion market goat, shown

Counties Area Vocational Techni
cal School agricultural education
teacher Mark Laub enlisted the
help of Rep. Kerry Benninghoff to
present the Teacher of Teachers
Bronze Award to fellow ag teach
er Ed Aurand.
Aurand, a teacher for 22 years,
was waiting for the bidding to start
when he heard his name called. A
surprised Aurand made his way
through the crowd to accept the
award from Laub and Benning
hoff. Laub, once a student of Aur
and’s, had submitted Aurand’s
name to the National Association
of Agricultural Educators for the
award.
Later in the evening, auctioneer
Mark Click roused the bidding
higher for a gallon of milk that’s
usually milked from the grand
champion dairy cow. But this
year’s cow, was a dry cow. This
year’s representative gallon of
milk sold for $650 and was pur
chased by Martin Fields of Martin
Fields Real Estate. Proceeds will
go to the Fair Fund.
Bidders this year, as in past
years, could purchase an animal or
enter the buy-back program. Pro
ceeds benefited the Erika Bell
Fund and the 4-H Development
Fund.
