Hillsboro FFA members named Outstanding Market Exhibitors

The Hillsboro FFA had many members exhibit at the fair and also participate in the skillathon. The skillathon took place the Saturday before the fair. OME stands for Outstanding Market Exhibitor, and it is based on how the exhibitor places in the market and showmanship contests, and it is also based on how well you score on your skillathon. There is an OME for each species and each age division in those species. 

For the swine OME, the Hillsboro FFA had one member who received OME, and it was 18-year-old Jordan Williamson.
