The evening opened with the officer introduction and President Ella Archer welcoming the many guests.


After an invocation by Will Vyhnalek a catered supper was served and then the awards began. 


The Discovery degree, awarded to junior high students and it was evident by the number of Greenhand degrees earned that the chapter is growing.  This year was an all time high of 74 members for the chapter.


After the Chapter degrees were awarded Spencer Eberspacher was recognized as the Star Chapter Farmer and Malorie Lawver and Cheyenne Krupicka were awarded the Star Chapter Greenhand awards.  Spencer Eberspacher and Jacob Weber were presented plaques recognizing their State Farmer degrees.

A special event during the evening is the presentation of honorary membership. This year Paul Sheffield, Exeter-Milligan Superintendent and Paul Segner, long-time treasurer of the FFA Booster Club were welcomed as new honorary members.

After the officers introduced their parents, the seniors were introduced and hung up their jackets before each taking a moment at the podium to share their thoughts on their experiences in FFA.
