Shiloh car show donates to Plymouth-shiloh FFA Alumni
Richard Stephens and Mickey Hall, representatives of the Shiloh Car Show presented the Plymouth-shiloh FFA Alumni with a $2,000 check to support Plymouth and Shiloh students. The organization knew many of the FFA events for students had been canceled or virtually scheduled and wanted to ensure students were not lacking for the things they are in need of, so they decided to donate to the Plymouth-shiloh FFA Alumni this year to support the agricultural youth at the county fair and through the purchase of classroom materials, supplies, and other necessary items.
Plymouth FFA students work together to farm a 26-acre field which has a harvest crop of soybeans this year. In addition, they typically grow a garden of tomatoes and peppers, manage a raspberry patch and a grape arbor, along with several areas of landscaping. In class, students learn about the science of agriculture as they explore careers, learn business skills and etiquette, practice leadership, process agricultural products such as spaghetti sauce, salsa, jams, and jellies, as well as learn woodworking and welding basics.
The Plymouthshiloh FFA Alumni is hoping to use part of the donation to help the chapter purchase a plasma table, cutter, laser, and router for the ag classroom. The Plymouthshiloh FFA Alumni and Plymouth FFA Chapter would like to express their gratitude to the Shiloh Car Show supporters as well as all of the recent fundraiser supporters and donors.
