Congratulations to Paola Gayton for being selected as a $1,000 Wild Game Dinner Scholarship Recipient!

The Wild Game Dinner is all about promoting students in agriculture and agricultural education. They would bend over backwards to help a kid that is willing to work. This project is all about supporting the youth in their community, and give them the resources that they need to reward themselves.

These scholarships was awarded to upstanding FFA & 4-H students in our county. We couldn't be more proud of Paola and her commitment to agriculture and her journey to become a veterinarian!

Our chapter meeting this month took us on a little adventure to go bowling!

Members who sold 10 or more flats of strawberries got to bowl for free, while enjoying some fellowship and relaxing before all of their STAAR testing this week.

Our small, humble chapter is just 31 members of the, Oh So Great Area 8!

So when you see our members placing at Area contests, know that they are competing in the largest membership Area in the state of Texas!

Across the state, area associations bring chapters together, creating opportunities for leadership, competition, and connection beyond the local level. Every level of involvement opens new doors, and every member has the chance to advocate, lead, serve, and succeed.

This spring, the Texas FFA Association is 174,836 members strong!
