Thanks in large part to $2,500 from the friends and family of the late John Dance.
How much would you pay for a dozen of Melissa Terrell’s famous peanut-butter-cup cupcakes? The auction started at $25, and went up to $30 and then $35 — all the way to $105 — at the annual Blue Jeans and Bling fundraiser for 4-H and Future Farmers of America youth.
Another half a dozen also was sold for $100, among dozens of other items and raffle baskets.
The event was held Feb. 16 at Cattleman’s Hall. Thanks in part to $2,500 donated by friends and family of the late John Dance, who accepted donations for 4-H and FFA in lieu of flowers, the event raised about $6,000, according to Penny Buckles, president of the Flagler County Fair and Youth Show’s 4-H and FFA Youth Livestock Show and Sale.
The 2025 Fair Board also includes Dowlin Cody, Jeannette Jones, Kristen Hoffman, Dan Cody, Walton Cowart, Mike Boyd, Craig Barton, Jeremy Barton, Jaxon Cox, Jacob Boyd and Catie Cox.
