In donating a 1949 Farmall Model H tractor to Cedar Bluffs Public Schools in 2018, it was the late Jack Nitzâs wish for the students to restore it and heâd auction it off.
Wanting for the students to be involved and see the project through, Cedar Bluffs SkillsUSA Adviser Garrett Zink came up with a different idea.
âWe decided that we would get the kids involved in selling raffle tickets and kind of promoting our tractor,â he said. âWe actually ended up raising more money than we estimated we would have at an auction.â
After more than two years of hard work, students at Cedar Bluffs, including the SkillsUSA chapter, finally finished the tractorâs restoration and had a raffle to give it away, raising $6,610 for the school.
