PRAIRIE CITY – This week is National FFA Week, and the Prairie City FFA Chapter Officer Team swung by KJDY Studios for an episode of Coffee Time. The officers said there’s much for the chapter to look forward to, including the Oregon State Convention at the end of March. For the last two years, members haven’t been able to attend the convention due to COVID-19.
Lilly Rockhill, Chapter Reporter, recently won second place overall in the Beginner’s Public Speaking contest at the Sectional level, and now she’ll move on to the state competition:
“It was about food waste.
I picked it, I had to write a speech that was two-to-five minutes long and it couldn’t go over. Then I had three minutes of questioning.”
The 2022 Oregon FFA State Convention will be March 17-20th at the Deschutes Fair & Expo Center in Redmond.
In celebration of National FFA Week, the officer team said they’re asking chapter volunteers to help with making special “Ag Boxes” for the teachers at Prairie City School.
