Dateline: January 1, 2004

FFA to showcase projects Monday

The Clarendon FFA Chapter will be holding their first Invitational Ag Mechanics Show on January 5, 2004.

Judging will start at 7 p.m., and winners will be announced after tabulations. Concessions will be available. This event will be held at the Clarendon ISD Agriscience Building.

This year, invitations have been extended to Hedley FFA and Wellington FFA, according to Clarendon’s ag instructor Robin Wheelus.

The public is invited to attend during the judging, and there will be a public viewing and silent auction on Sunday, January 11, from 2-4 p.m. Some of the projects will be up for auction on Sunday.

There will be five divisions and nine classes, and Wheelus is expecting approximately 12 or 14 projects this year.

The show will be a good opportunity to see how the students of Clarendon FFA and Hedley FFA are applying their skills. A note to bidders: some of the projects that will be up for auction will be showing at the San Antonio Livestock Show in February, so you might have to wait until February 23 to take delivery.
