FSCC Meats Judging Team to Host BBQ and Auction

The Fort Scott Community College Meats Judging Team invites the community to its annual BBQ and auction event on Saturday, April 30 at FSCC East Campus (The Armory), 2301 Horton Street, Fort Scott, Kan.

The event will feature a BBQ dinner, live auction, silent auction, and raffle. The meal will begin at 5:30 pm and the auction will begin at 6:30 pm. The menu will include pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans, potato salad, and cookies. Admission is by donation, with a suggested donation of $7 per person.

“The students travel thousands of miles competing at national contests all over the country throughout the year, representing our school and community to the best of their abilities,” said Jenilee Martin, FSCC Meats Judging Team Coach. “We are so thankful for the support of our community, and we would love to have everyone join us for a fun night!”

Items available for auction will include a handmade deer antler knife, hay bale ring swing, handmade quilts, horseshoe crosses, duck calls, home décor items, themed baskets, toys, tools, welding helmet, gift certificates, photography session voucher, half of a hog (processed), and much more. The team is still accepting donations; those who wish to donate items may call 620-223-2700 ext. 3540.

Additionally, the team is raffling tickets for chances to win a choice of two guns – a Remington® Model 11-87™ 12-gauge shotgun or a Henry® Golden Boy .30-30. Tickets may be purchased now through April 30. The raffle will take place the night of the BBQ and Auction and will be announced at the end of the event. Winners need not be present to win.
