THERE WILL BE SOMETHING for everyone at this year’s Missouri State University-West Plains, thanks to Hirsch Feed and Farm Supply, which donated an outdoor enthusiast’s dream package for the April 11 event at the West Plains Opera House. The package includes a green 15.6-foot Mackinaw canoe with two Seasense oars, a stainless steel Companion portable grill with a 212-square-inch cooking surface and carrying case by Holland, and a Yeti Tundra 35 cooler with 7.2 gallon capacity that is incredibly strong and keeps ice longer, auction officials said. The package is worth more than $1,000. Area residents can reserve a table of eight seats at the auction for $350 or purchase individual seating for $35 each.
