The first ever Holdrege FFA Chapter Kick-off Picnic was held at North Park on August 29th at 6:30 pm. Thirty-four Holdrege FFA members along with their parents and numerous guests attended the event. In total, over 75 people were served hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and drinks. A brief meeting was held by the chapter. All members introduced themselves by saying their name, grade, and favorite type of ice cream.
FFA members had a short informational meeting, discussing several upcoming events. The group discussed dues, National FFA Convention, committees, and the farm safety camp. After the meeting, Alumni members also discussed some plans for the upcoming year.
