Another successful day at the Clark County Fair! 🐐🐖

We are incredibly proud of our Springfield-Clark CTC FFA members for their hard work, dedication, and outstanding representation of our chapter. Your commitment to your projects, sportsmanship, and willingness to help others continues to make us proud.

Congratulations to all of our exhibitors on another great day in the show ring! Keep up the hard work, enjoy the rest of fair week, and continue to represent the blue and gold with pride. 💙💛

Our FFA members have been working hard all week, and it definitely shows! 💙💛

From early mornings to late nights, they’ve put in countless hours caring for their projects, supporting one another, and representing our chapter positively. Their dedication, responsibility, and sportsmanship are something to be proud of.

Keep up the great work, SCCTC FFA! We can’t wait to see what the rest of the fair has in store. 🌽🐐🐑🐖🐇🐄🐥

It’s been a busy few days preparing for the fair, but the Clark County Fair is off to a great start for our SCCTC members!
Congratulations to Gabriella Halderman on earning a $300 scholarship and being named 1st Runner Up in the 2026 Clark County Fair Queen Contest. We are so proud of your hard work, dedication, and outstanding representation of SCCTC. Wishing all exhibitors continued success throughout the fair!

I had the privilege of having Gabriella Halderman shadow my office in Columbus today. Gabriella is a recent Clark CTC graduate who is heading to Sinclair Community College to be a Veterinary Technician.

Besides being in 4H, she is also a Clark County Fair Queen candidate who drove all the way to Columbus, just to see how government works up close.

Among other things, she attended a Controlling Board hearing where we discussed how we are spending your tax dollars. She also met the Ohio House Clerk and the Senate President’s Chief of Staff.

Gabby and I discussed legislation I have worked on regarding everything from farm equipment on highways to the # of chicks you’re allowed to buy at a farm store.

I also asked her to review House Bill 664 that would expand her responsibilities as a Vet Tech. It just passed the Ohio House and we will hold hearings in the Senate when we return in the Fall.

I am excited to see someone genuinely interested in how government works. Her enthusiasm made a long day a little brighter.

Friday’s adventure = smiles, laughter, and learning at the Columbus Zoo! 🐾🦒 Junior Vet Science and Forestry students had an unforgettable day exploring wildlife, discovering new animals, and making memories together. From curious questions to excited reactions, it was a trip full of wonder! 🌿✨

Four senior vet science students competed this week at Indian Lakes Livestock Judging Contest, hosted at the Logan County Fairgrounds. Although the weather was inclement and tornado warnings added an extra layer of excitement, the contestants gained valuable experience and demonstrated strong sportsmanship throughout the competition.

Our FFA officers and chapter members had the opportunity to participate in a county-wide Donkey Ball event! A HUGE thank you to Southeastern FFA for hosting such a fun night and all of the sponsors! 💙🫏💛

For Ag Teacher Appreciation Day, the SCCTC FFA Chapter would like to recognize Clark County’s Ag teachers including our own Mrs. Turner! Thank you for everything you guys do for Clark County FFA Chapters! Happy Ag Teacher Appreciation Day! 💙💛

Hope to see you there! 🫏🏀

Celebrate National FFA Week with us! 💙💛
During the last week of February, chapters across the country join the National FFA Organization in celebrating the traditions, leadership, and opportunities that FFA provides. National FFA Week was established in 1948 and is held in honor of George Washington’s birthday on February 22, recognizing his legacy as an agriculturist and the lasting impact of agricultural education.
Our chapter has organized themed dress down days to celebrate the importance of agriculture and the future leaders it helps develop.
Join us as we celebrate agriculture, leadership, and the blue and gold all week long! 💛💙🌾
