At the banquet this year, our guest speaker was state vice president at large Emma Dearth. Emma spoke to our Greenhands and guests about how you might not always feel like you are qualified to do what is asked of you, but when you step into the role you are meant to be in, you will know.

Toward the end of the program, before the members were presented with their pins, six members presented the FFA Creed. The six members who presented the creed were Emma Hatfield, Elena Lowell, Clara Page, Griffin Puckett, Riley Stratton and Serena Humphrey.

The banquet also consisted of a meal provided by the Hillsboro FFA chapter and the Grover family. The meal included grilled pork chops, macaroni and cheese, green beans and cookies.

The Hillsboro FFA would like thank everyone who attended and everyone who helped.
