The popular Ag Olympics will be Feb. 22, during 7th and 8th hours (about 1:45 to 3:30 p.m.) in different parts of the agricultural education complex in the Brown Building.

Ag Olympics teams will be made up of four students from FCCLA, FCA, Hot Rod Club, Business Professionals of America, and other school clubs. Staff members also are encouraged to form teams for the competition. The public is invited to attend.

FFA members will host a chili taste-off and labor auction Thursday evening in the agricultural education area. The events are open to the public.

The chili taste-off begins at 6 p.m. in the cafeteria. Peabody and Burns cooks are invited to bring their best pot of chili to share. The top two contestants will receive a prize.
