Jay County FFA thanks supporters

Letters to the Editor

To the editor:

This year’s annual Jay County FFA parent-member banquet was a huge success.

Thank you to all the area businesses and Jay County residents who donated in any way to our student work experience auction and banquet. 

A very special thank you is extended to Pete Shawver Sr., Pete Shawver Jr., Zane Shawver and Larry Iliff for their outstanding work as the auctioneers for the work experience auction. For the last 40 years, Shawver Auctioneering has supported the Jay County FFA by providing their services for the banquet. This is a long-standing relationship that the Jay County FFA truly cherishes and owes a great deal of gratitude for all you have done for us. 

Thank you to the FFA Agriculture Advisory Board and the Purdue alumni who help cook the butterfly pork chops and help us throughout the year with many events. Also, thank you to the Jay County High School cafeteria staff who did an outstanding job preparing the rest of the meal.

Congratulations to Jim Zimmerman, who was named this year’s Honorary Member of the FFA.

Many awards and scholarships were given at the banquet. Lindsey Ayala was the recipient of the Redkey Vet Clinic Record Keeping Scholarship, given by Dr. James Wasson, and congrats to Tucker Pearson, Betsy Muhlenkamp, Kayla Dirksen and Emily Reier for receiving the Michael A. Alig Memorial FFA Scholarship. These scholarships and many of the activities that the Jay County FFA participates in are all made possible only with the support and generosity of the community and staff at JCHS.

Last, but certainly not least, we would like to say thank you to WPGW for covering the event as well as other FFA activities throughout the year. We are extremely proud of the achievements and efforts of our FFA members. We hope that all who attended enjoyed the evening as we honored and acknowledged our current and past members.

There is no other place like Jay County and every day we are reminded “It is a Great Day to be a Patriot.”

Thank you for your continued support.

The Jay County FFA Advisors Melissa Wolters, Brittany Kloer, Cody Linville and Seth Swallow
