FFA and FHA Reach Out To The Community In FFA and FHA many things have been accomplished this year. The FHA won second place in a poster contest at the regional meeting. The poster was created by Karen Wallace and Colleen Nimmo. The girls also had a Bicentennial poster contest. They entered a float in the Christmas parade and went Christmas caroling. In January a tea was held. Mrs. Judy Kennedy sponsors this large group. Their annual mon- eymaking project is the sale of Stanley products in the fall. The FFA, a group also involved in area activities, held their annual Barnwarming at the Dallas County Area Vo-Tech School on October 25. Miss Angela Hawkins was crowned Barnwarming Queen and repre- sented the group in the Christmas parade. Some of the boys attended the American Royal in Kansas City. FFA’ers have been active in judg- ing contests around the state. The Buffalo FFA is a member of area eight FFA. The group builds several pieces of farm equipment each year for themselves and other people around the community. The FFA members and their sponsor, Mr. Steve Potter, are also busy in the sum- mer when they help with the annual Dallas County Fair. Both of these groups participate in community projects and prepare young men and women to assume future responsibilities. 22
