Federal Rule of Evidence 103(a) provides that "[e]rror may not be predicated upon a ruling which . . . excludes evidence unless . . . the substance of the evidence was made known to the court by offer or was apparent from the context within which questions were asked." In order to challenge a trial court's exclusion of evidence, the issue must be preserved for appeal by making an offer of proof on the record. See Dupre v. Fru-Con Engineering Inc., 112 F.3d 329, 336 (8th Cir. 1997); Holst v. Countryside Enterprise, Inc. 14 F.3d 1319, 1323 (8th Cir. 1994). Mrs. Badami failed to make an offer of proof to the district court regarding the evidence allegedly excluded by the court.
