🐷 Ready to get those buyers to the Junior Fair Livestock Auction? It all starts with a great letter! 📄✨
Exhibitors, now is the time to start reaching out to potential buyers. If you aren’t sure where to begin, you don’t have to look very far. Think about the businesses your family supports every single day!
Take a look around your community and consider inviting:
🚗 The dealership where your family bought your car
💼 The local agent who handles your family’s insurance
🌾 The places where your parents work, do business, or invest
🛒 The local shops, vets, and feed stores you visit regularly
These businesses love supporting local youth, but they won't know you're exhibiting unless you ask! A personal, handwritten letter makes a world of difference.
Need some help finding the right words?
We’ve got you covered! Check out the attached example letter to help you structure yours. Drop your favorite project emoji below when yours are ready to mail! 👇

Here are the last FFA Announcements of the 25-26 School Year

05/24/2026

🎓✨ Huge congratulations to our incredible FFA Seniors! ✨🎓

As these jackets get hung up one last time, we want to take a moment to celebrate the Class of 2026. For the past 4+ years, these students have poured their hearts, sweat, and endless dedication into agriculture, leadership, and our chapter. From early morning contest practices and intense SAE projects to unforgettable convention trips, they have truly left their mark. 💙💛

"Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve."

No matter where their next chapters take them, we know one thing for certain: their success is absolutely guaranteed. The work ethic, resilience, and leadership they built right here will carry them through whatever comes next.
Thank you, seniors, for your leadership and for making our FFA chapter feel like family. We can't wait to watch you change the world! 🌱➡️🌍

One for the record books! 📚

✨ This week, our FFA chapter had the absolute best time hosting over 600 students from Shelby Elementary School and local preschools!
Our amazing members guided these future leaders through hands-on stations, teaching them all about the importance of agriculture and sending them home with big smiles and a lot of Ag pride. 🚜🌱
Thank you to everyone who made this week such a massive success!
