FFA Day at the
Georgia National Fair
Georgia FFA Day at the Georgia
National Fair was held October 9 at the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry. The
program is designed for students in grades 6-9 to learn more and get excited
about FFA and agricultural education. Throughout the day’s events, students are
able to interact with Georgia FFA Area Officers while 
learning more about all that FFA has to
offer. Students had the opportunity to
listen to our motivational speaker- former national FFA officer, Erica Der, and
enjoy the Georgia National Fair’s midway in the afternoon.
Nearly 1,800 students attended and
discovered the countless opportunities available in agricultural education and
the FFA. The area officers spent weeks preparing for the event. Students were allotted
time to visit the area officers’ booths that interest them. The area officers’ booths covered topics
relevant to agricultural 
education, forestry, wildlife, animal
science, agricultural mechanics, and FFA. “I am proud of the work that the Area
Officers do with their projects, and proud of the partnership with the Georgia
National Fair,” said Ben Lastly, Georgia FFA Executive Secretary.
