Hillsboro Great Oaks FFA Chapter 

On Oct. 14, The Hillsboro Great Oaks FFA Chapter held the annual Greenhand night where new members were inducted into the chapter as Greenhands. 

There were 36 members and 55 guests in attendance at this annual event. Greenhands Jacob Robinson, Teddy Waters and Lana Apgar gave committee reports on Soil Judging, Ag Day, and Orchard Installation. 

Greenhands Kassandra Edwards, Landon Miton, Luke Kelly, Adrian Ekhator, Ameilya Riggs, and Brynn Stanley introduced and each read a paragraph of the FFA creed. Ohio FFA Vice President Paige Gehret was the guest speaker for the night and gave an inspirational speech about stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new things. 

We celebrated our new Greenhands with cupcakes and refreshments and we are excited to watch these individuals grow throughout their FFA careers.
