The Iola High School gymnasium will be converted into a mattress showcase Sunday as part of an FFA chapter fundraiser.
Rows of mattresses will be laid out for testing from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“Go ahead and take a load off,” adviser Amanda Strickler said. “We’ll let you lay on the mattresses to try them out.”
A variety of 28 mattresses will be on display.
Mattress representatives will be on hand with the FFA members to take orders, with the chapter getting a cut of the proceeds.
Strickler, in her first year as FFA adviser, saw a similar sale last year in Ottawa.
“I thought, why not give it a shot?” she said. “If it works, great. If it doesn’t, we tried.”
Those who are referred by specific FFA members will get a free set of sheets if they order a mattress the day of the sale. The student also gets money added into his account to use for future FFA endeavors, such as career development events or conferences.
For more information, call Strickler at 365-4715.
