Reporter Jessica Brown says, “On May 4 the Logan County FFA held its annual banquet to award all of the outstanding members and their achievements for the past year. Many awards were given to members. Over 170 awards were given out that day. The chapter as a whole had a very successful year. The chapter would not be as successful as it is without our advisors.
“A lot of time and effort is put into making our chapter a success, and the banquet is just one way to show all the work that has been put in. One of the major things the chapter does is cook for the community; as of the banquet we have cooked over 6,500 sandwiches. We would like to give a big thanks to the alumni and community for all of the support. We look to have just as successful year next year.”
