The Hot Springs FFA returned from the state convention with a number to top performances.
Nick McAllister placed second in the talent show and received his state degree. Brooke Jackson receiving her state degree. Odin Max placing fifth in food science, eighth in Farm Business Management, and fourth in the sweepstakes. Kara Christensen won the star reporter award, and the Hall of Chapters display taking first overall.
Before this year, Hot Springs FFA had gotten one member up on stage. In this year alone members were on the stage 6 times.
The hard work and dedication within the past year has truly paid off for the whole chapter, as 16 members qualified to compete throughout the week. Hot Springs is making a mark in FFA with plenty of small-town pride.
