The Mayville State University Farmers Bowl Auction event will be the grand finale for the combined Homecoming/Farmers Bowl 2024 event! The much-loved auction will be held Saturday, Sept. 28 in the Mayville State University Campus Center Luckasen Room. The event promises to be a great time for all and includes the chance to win great prizes and the opportunity to purchase some wonderful auction items that have been donated by numerous local and regional businesses, alumni, and friends.
All proceeds of the auction will be disbursed through the MSU Foundation for the benefit of Mayville State University and its students. The first Mayville State University Farmers Bowl Auction was held in 1997. The amount raised in each auction has grown steadily over the years.
