FFA preparing for upcoming show

FFA+preparing+for+upcoming+show

This year’s Tomball ISD project show is projected to be even more successful than the past year’s, which raised $600,000 – $700,000 in scholarships for the students involved in the program.

Some changes have been made in the schedule for this year that will be important for those planning to attend the event.

First, the Turkey show has been cancelled this year due to an outbreak of the avian flu. Also, the 3- day show that extends through two school days is fairly new, as it has lasted only Friday and Saturday in the past.

All FFA members are expected to attend the entire show this year in official dress, regardless of whether they are showing a small animal (Thursday) or a large animal (Friday).
