Fun at the fair
Firelands FFA chapter turns in successful showing
The Firelands FFA chapter dedicates a huge amount of time preparing for a successful week at the Lorain County Fair Wellington. Many students show their animals that they have raised for market and spent hours budgeting and recording data in preparation for fair week. They can enter a wide variety of projects such as animals, crops, and still-life shop projects and more. The chapter works very hard and dedicates a lot of their time to have a successful fair and proudly represent Firelands FFA Chapter as they compete in their project classes.
