The FFA Banquet and Auction will be held on Tuesday, April 8 at Nyssa High School Cafeteria.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with tickets $10 single or $50 family. This is a great event highlighting the accomplishments of the Nyssa FFA and acknowledging the senior members of the group. There will be a dinner with both silent and live auctions, and it’s a great time to visit.

• The Nyssa Senior Citizens Center hosts the Gem State Fiddlers on Saturday, April 5, at 4:30 p.m. The public is invited to enjoy the music of this amazing local group. The event is free although donations are accepted and split between the Gem State Fiddlers and the senior center.

The Senior Center’s spring yard sale will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 11-12. The yard sale room contains a lot of great bargains. As you do some spring cleaning, remember the center for your useable donations of items such as clothing and housewares.
