Junior Auction
As NWSS approaches that leads to a lot of excitement for Aberdeen exhibitors across the country. Once again the junior board of directors is having an auction at the American Aberdeen Association Banquet for fundraising. This year’s auction will include a selection of items that will suit any buyer. The board will be hard at work preparing for this auction so that they can offer you a great selection of items. We hope to see you in Denver.
