Tickets are available for $35.00 per ticket or you can become a Booster Member and receive 4 tickets for $100 as an Active Member up to $1000.00 for Gold Members.

Fundraising efforts from 2016 were enough to purchase a state of the art Lincoln Torchmate 4800 Plasma Cutting System for the growing Agricultural Mechanics Fabrication Shop. This state of the art machine has a touchscreen HMI, industrial grade 80 amp plasma cutter along with CAD software for student design and learning, bringing Lone Pine High Student into the cutting edge of rigorous and relevant career and technical education preparing them for a wind range of high wage and high skilled positions.

For 2017 the program looks to use the funds to purchase a dump trailer, along with design and construct a large pollinator garden, provide a learning lab for the Bee Keeping project, and construct a new poultry and storage barn.

We hope to see you at this year’s event, if you have any questions please contact Brenda Lacey FFA Advisor at 760-878-8843 for ticket and Booster Club information.
