FHA Carnival 28 This year was the first time the FHA had a carnival. A lot of people came and enough money was made to finance all of the coming events. These included: FHA Leadership Conference, Harvest Ball, Slumber Party, May Banquet, and other expenses. Some of the booths included a cake walk, wet sponge throw, fish pond, and shave the balloon. The carnival was a big success and plans are to have one for next year, too. Once again they had the annual FFA-FHA Hayrack ride. Trucks were used instead of hayracks and it was a long, windy ride to a pasture northwest of Cairo. The sponsors had the bonfire and hotdogs ready and waiting for the hungry people. By the end of the evening all of the food was gone. 1 Patty Welch, Teresa Thomsen, and Kathy Harders help with the music for the cake walk at the carnival. 2 The 1977-78 officers, Cindy Schmidt, Secretary; Doreen Dibbern, President; Sandy Ripp, Historian and Publicity; jolene Harders, Encounter; and Patty Welch, Treasurer; proudly display the FHA banner. 3 Martha Gloe is getting ready to attend State FHA Leadership Conference in Lincoln. 4 Lori Hood and Sandy Ripp are exhausted at the slumber party so they decide to rest and eat some food.
