FAA Update Mikayla Kraft, FAA These last few days have consisted of the Christmas Stroll and the Sweetgrass Showdown in Big Timber, MT. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Christmas Stroll and made it happen. Without you we couldn’t have sold so much to help with our FFA endeavors. We can still take sales on custom tumblers. If you are interested, please contact the phone number at the end of the article.
We competed at the District level Sweetgrass Showdown Competition in Big Timber, MT on December 5th. Our chapter competed in various Career Development Events. Our students participated in Floriculture, Livestock Evaluation, Meat Evaluation and Technology, and Veterinary Science.

The Meat Evaluation team of Grace Kroeger, Spencer Braaten, Ross McDonald, Aiden Kitto, and Kayla Kraft placed 5th.
