Lead Summary

Alora Brown-
This year at the 2019 Highland County Fair, several members from the Hillsboro FFA chapter participated in rabbit projects.
These members work with their rabbits in the months before our fair to have them show ready. Each member that participates in the fair learns leadership skills, responsibility and perseverance with these projects.
The FFA also had members participate in showmanship, which helps exhibit these qualities they gain. Allie Crago placed third in her age division. Alora Brown got Reserve Champion for the senior showmanship division.
