On Saturday, Sept. 18, the MCCC Ag Club held a flower sale next to the field of sunflowers they had cultivated. It was from 8:30am to 11:30am.
The proceeds from the sale will go towards the keeping the farm running, as well as funding the various activities the Ag Club does, advisor Andy McCane said. Some of those activities include golf outings, a fall festival and feeding a family for Christmas.
Ag Club members Josie Sonnenverg, Joseph Woody and Taylor Fitch ran the stand.
