Blue and Gold Forever

Have you stopped in to the Childern's Barnyard at the fairgrounds?  The one with all the cute baby critters you can pet and hold?

That barn is sponsored by the local FFA Chapter.  But FFA is so much more than just some baby chicks at the fair.  FFA is a dynamic youth organization that is part of agricultural education programs in schools across the nation.  And it isn't just for farm kids.  Today, FFA members are engaged in a wide range of curriculum and FFA activities, leading to over 300 career opportunities in agriculture.




And... FFA members love to have fun!  Just like they will be doing this Saturday night when they host Donkey Basketball at the MAHS gym.  The fun starts at 7 pm.  Tickets are on sale now from any FFA member or at these great businesses- Midwest Machinery, Red Horizon and Pizza Ranch!  It will be a great chance to see the donkeys in action before the donkey races this summer at the fair!




One of the teams that will be competing will be the FFA Alumni.  If you are interested in joining this great group, contact Nancy Loen at the High School or Paul Koubsky.


Who out there wore the blue and gold?  What events did you participate in?
