Vienna FFA has had a busy week! We started off on Tuesday at SIC with the Section 25 FFA Ag Mechanics contest, where Nathan McIlwain placed 2nd in electricity. On Wednesday, we traveled to Murray, Kentucky, for the Murray Field Day, where our livestock team did exceptionally well, placing 6th out of 68 teams, and Curtner Bergmann placed 3rd individually. We finished the week today at the SIU District 5 Invitational Livestock Judging and we are eagerly awaiting results.

My 20th FFA week as an FFA advisor was a blessed one, with beautiful weather and a great group of young adults. We were also very blessed to have a lot of school and community support. FFA members cooked Johnson County-raised chops, donated by Max Allbritten and Indian Point Ranch, for the entire FFA and all of the teachers and staff. Legence Bank brought FFA members pizza for lunch on Wednesday and gave us a very generous $250 donation. We had dress-up days each day and wrapped it all up with our cookout and Drive Your Tractor to School Day.
