American Farmers & Ranchers (AFR) will sponsor the 4-H & FFA Night at the Barons Hockey game this Saturday, Jan. 28. Tickets are $11 for 4-H and FFA members, advisors, family and friends. This is AFR's fourth year to sponsor the event with the franchise, formerly known as the Oklahoma City Blazers.
"We use our membership funds and give back from our insurance company by investing in the youth of Oklahoma- our future," said Terry Detrick, AFR president. "Developing leadership skills in our youth is only one way which we help our State through our membership services commitment."
All 4-H and FFA members in attendance are entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of the four grand prizes valued at $4,000:
$2,500 valued dollar Heifer
$500 gift certificate for a Barrow
$500 gift certificate for a Lamb
$500 gift certificate for a Goat
At the conclusion of the game, 4-H and FFA members are welcomed on the ice where the grand drawing will take place. All winners will be given their certificates, at the conclusion of the game, to purchase their specified animal for their 4-H and FFA show project.
"For each ticket sold, four dollars will be given back to the respective 4-H/FFA Foundation," said Lin Fariss, AFR youth and education coordinator. "Last year the FFA Foundation received over $2,100 and the 4-H Foundation received over $400 and AFR is proud to sponsor and support an activity that gives back to our State's local agricultural programs."
For more ticket information, please contact your local FFA Advisor or your County Extension Office.
