Mullen FFA Chapter
This is the Mullen FFA Chapter’s second year. It has been fun, but it has not been without it’s challenges. Everything FFA was new to the students in Mullen. It was a challenge to simply explain, “Just what does FFA do?” I think we heard the age-old question, “What does FFA stand for?” a thousand times. It was interesting getting students into their official dress and making them wear. FFA was something new and many students were on board to both learn about and be a part of Mullen FFA.
Last year was kind of trial by fire. We really had to concentrate on gaining our bearings. For our advisor and for the students it was great challenge learning what FFA was really all about. We focused on becoming familiar with FFA., and what it meant to be a new chapter. We had to learn how each of the contests was run. We also had to learn how to prepare for some of the contests. I think one of our most memorable contests was our first Ag Sales and Service contest in Scottsbluff. We had a group of really energetic students that showed up completely unprepared but we gave it our all and had a great time. We sold the clipboards and pens that we brought with us. It was a lot of fun. — Full Story »
