Eden Aschenbrenner, a sophomore at Auburndale High School, said, “I really learned how our entire community comes together, like the people who are doing different things to instill this issue.” ” he said.
Test Day will be held on Saturday, October 5th from noon to 5 p.m., with the FFA Meat Auction beginning at 8 p.m.
In lieu of the Sunflower Fundraiser, there will also be food and raffles benefiting Toys for Tots.
