NHS Animal Fair

What happens when you put FFA chapter together with various barn animals? You get the FFA Animal Fair. On Friday, October 14, members of the FFA brought farm animals to the school to teach younger children about animals that the general public could find on the farm. This year the Neoga FFA made some changes to “Farm Day.” First, they changed the name to Animal Fair. They also moved it outside, which resulted in a cleaner environment. In addition, everyone who brought an animal had to make a educational poster. When Ms. Walker was asked about The Animal Fair she responded, “Overall it went excellent, and lots of teachers gave compliments. The fresh air was nice for the animals and the kids.” Furthermore, Junior Lauren Hoene added, “There’s nothing like chasing sheep to the railroad tracks!”
