Along side these items were some incredible items donated by local entrepreneurs and a miniature electric tractor.  At the end of the day the live auction raised $17,680.00 to help look after the fair grounds.  Pattison Ag and its suppliers made the very generous donation to cover the cost of the meal and so 100% of the ticket price will also go towards looking after the fair grounds.  Shawn Eggie was the winner of the 50\/50 jackpot and donated his $502 winning pot back to the Society as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Submitted by: Austen Anderson | The Swan River Valley Ag Society hosted the Farmer&#8217;s Appreciation Gala on the evening of Friday the 13, 2018 to great success.
