Several representatives of the Cushing FFA Chapter attended the regular Rotary Club meeting Thursday to remind folks of their upcoming annual junior breeder show.
FFA president Megan Morris told the group of Rotarians that the Cushing Jr. Breeder Show would once again include the adult/student judging contest where adults are paired with students to compete as judging teams.
“We will not only award the best team,” Morris said, “but there will be a prize for the worst as well. So, come on out and participate – it’s a lot of fun!”
