New this year!   

The MAA is organizing an FFA Auctioneering Boot Camp and Competition to be held at Kruse Plaza on August 11, 2026. Reppert Auction School (John and Mathew Kruse) have generously agreed to donate their time and venue to host a hands-on “boot camp” class for interested FFA members, followed by an auctioneer competition.

*This will not be a sanctioned FFA event. Instead, we are inviting FFA members who have an interest in the auction industry to attend and participate. (Participation will be open to any dues-paying FFA member currently in high school or a 2026 graduate.) No prior auction experience is required, and all skill levels are encouraged to join.
