Exhibitors at HHD support the FFA

    As I was leaving the Monsanto tent this morning 

I ran into my old FFA Advisor, Heath Ahrens. 

Our chapter would always send kids to HHD 

to work and to learn about job opportunities 

and get information on colleges. We would 

usually help the presenters in the "Rural Life"

tent and hand out bandanas at the Dodge tent. 

This year, however, the chapter was contacted 

by the Nebraska Pork Producers. So as I was 

catching up with my old advisor, we walked 

to the Pork Producers tent. I got so see a 

bunch of my friends that are still in high 

school, and witness them "hard at work."  

A few of the girls were cutting pork 

tenderloins into small pieces while another 

was putting the pieces into cups to serve to

the visitors of the booth. Two other girls were 

manning a wheel that spun. The wheel

would land on a category and they would ask

you a question testing your knowledge on 

all things pork. If you got the answer right,

you got a squishy Nebraska Pork Producers

pig. I got one, and I think it's really cute. 

It's really great that exhibitors at HHD

want to support a great organization like

the FFA. I think that there are other chapters 

that work for other exhibitors, but I'm not

sure who. I might look into that tomorrow.
