Each year our students have a great deal of success with their animals, but this year we are pleased with the fact that more students are taking advantage of the other exhibitor opportunities available to them.  Many other plant and agriculture mechanics projects were entered in the fair and all did well.  Our students provided quality projects and they were rewarded with a record number of first place ribbons!

Overall the students who participated in fair earned $15,872!!!
