- The Michigan Auctioneers Association and the Kruse Family are excited to announce the addition of Auctioneer Bootcamp. Current FFA Members are invited to join us for this new opportunity including Bootcamp, lunch, an Auction Contest, and learning/networking opportunities.

(Participation will be open to any dues-paying FFA member currently in high school or a 2026 graduate.) No prior auction experience is required, and all skill levels are encouraged to join.
- NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! FFA Members have the opportunity to register and stay for the Midwest Auctioneers Roundup the next day! Check out the Education and Fun Events Page for info about the GoToAuction.com Midwest Auctioneer Championship and Midwest Junior Auctioneer Championship on August 12!

Midwest Junior Auctioneer Championship! After several years of offering the Kids Exhibition Auction, we recognize that some of these kids are tough competitors! So, this year, we are offering two segments of bid calling for the kids. The Midwest Junior Auctioneer Championship is for kids ages 17 and under (Note rule change). They will be judged on the same criteria as the adults, but they don’t have to wear a hat (unless they want to!). They'll still have 2 minutes to sell what they bring. Placings will be awarded to the top 3 and a ribbon for all entrants. *All Competitors must register for the Roundup. Minors must be registered with a parent or legal guardian.
For the kids who don't want to compete but do want to show off their skills or even get up there for the first time, they can sell in the Kids Exhibition Auction! Bring your young auctioneers and have them sell items they have brought during the fun auction. No judging for this group, just lots of fun, encouragement and goating grandpa into bidding high and often!
This portion of the event is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Each contestant will take home a ribbon to memorialize their achievement. Please sign your young auctioneers up on the registration form for the MJAC as well as the kids exhibition auction so we have enough awards for everyone.
