The Independence FFA Chapter hosted its inaugural Auctioneer Bid Calling Contest on Saturday evening, May 17th — and what a fantastic event it was!
Huge congratulations to Emily Hovey for taking home 1st place and bringing home the gold!

A special thank you to Jamie Back and Jacob Lallemont from Hansen Auction Group for being the driving force behind this amazing event. We also appreciate Gary Pronschinske for serving as a judge and Scott Werlein for his valuable support.

Incredible teamwork and talent on display — well done, everyone!
