The Atlantic FFA, CAM FFA, and Griswold FFA chapters are working in cooperation to build a new FFA Food Stand at the Cass County Fair. Kevin Blair, Agricultural Education Teacher at the Griswold High School, says “As we all know, the FFA Food Stand is in dire need of repair. The building has long served its purpose and we are looking at replacing the entire structure.”

Over the past 3 years the FFA Chapters have raised over $12,000 through the operation of the old Food Stand during the Cass County Fair. With the generous help of outside organizations, the FFA is close to its goal of $45,000. Blair says they need your help to reach their goal of building a new, attractive, and safe FFA Food Stand.

All proceeds raised will go towards the building of the new FFA Food Stand, which include new equipment, fixtures and seating. This will continue to allow FFA members to serve the Fair-goers and help keep the Cass County Fair free for everyone as we donate 25% of our profits back to the Cass County Fair Board.

Several individuals and businesses have already donated towards the new Food Stand and the FFA will recognize all sponsors permanently in the new building. The sponsorship levels are: over $5,000 are Platinum Sponsors; $1,000 to $4,999 are Gold Sponsors; and $100 to $999 are Blue Sponsors. If you would like to donate to the FFA Food Stand you may contact any of the FFA Advisors in Cass County or you can send your donation payable to the Griswold Schools, which is where the account is held.

Please send your donations to: Kevin Blair, FFA Advisor; Griswold Comm. Schools; 20 Madison St; Box 280; Griswold, IA 51535.
