8th Annual Beast Feast and Auction -

March 26, 2011

Lots of Fun, Food, Entertainment!

The Florida FFA is serving up a variety of wild game and seafood at the 8th Annual Beast Feast & Auction to benefit the Florida FFA Leadership Training Center.

Along with feasting on venison, pork, gator, shrimp, fried grouper, turkey, conch salad, oyster stew, swamp cabbage, low country boil, peanuts, homemade ice cream, key lime pie and many other foods, guests can enjoy raffles, silent and live auctions, exhibits and entertainment. Items to be auctioned may include vacation trips, airboat tours, fishing trips, hunting trips, framed prints, grills, gift baskets, livestock feed, fishing and hunting equipment, gift certificates to local stores and restaurants and a wide variety of other exciting items.

The Beast Feast will be held at the Leadership Training Center, 5000 Firetower Road, off Highway 542 - Hatchineha Road - near Haines City from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The LTC hosts a variety of  meetings, conferences and workshops for FFA and other organizations.

All proceeds will benefit the Leadership Training Center and the Florida FFA Foundation, Inc. The Foundation provides the resources to recognize the leaders which our organization is known for, while the FFA Association provides the paths for students to succeed. “We take great pride in being a part of the Leadership Training Center fundraiser” states Fred Williams, Southern Coast Manager, Land O’Lakes Purina LLC.

“As a business owner I see the skills these young people gain and the influence they will have on the job market.” said Dennis Der, owner of Southside Farm Supply of Plant City and Chairman of the 2011 Beast Feast and Auction Committee. “Many FFA members have gone on to become politicians, lawyers, researchers, teachers and the list goes on. The point is, without the Leadership Training Center and the leadership training these kids receive, they may not achieve those positive influences that guided those who went before them.”
