Today is the Section 18 FFA fair. We had three members show - Olivia Gillins, Eli Hasting, and Mia Rieches. All showed in the swine show. Here are some pictures from today.

Praying for everyone affected by the severe storms across Section 20 and throughout Illinois. Our thoughts are with the families, farmers, first responders, and communities dealing with damage, power outages, and difficult conditions. Stay safe, check on your neighbors, and keep those impacted in your prayers. 🙏

Mother Nature apparently was not happy last night. Our FFA greenhouse had a little damage… thankfully the trailer didn’t land in the greenhouse!

Last day of state FFA convention. Olivia and Angelina served as delegates and helped elect our new state FFA officer team. We took our group picture before heading home.

If anyone bought the gazanias at the plant sale, this is what they look like when they bloom! They are definitely late bloomers! 🤣
