Marion and Peabody-Burns FFA made strong showings at the state conference for chapter leaders July 1 to 3 at Rock Springs Ranch.

Participants from Marion included Peyton Ensey, Karlee Fetrow, Gracie Mackie, Cassie Meyer, Mickelly Soyez, and adviser Mark Meyer.

Those from Peabody-Burns included Morgan and Weston Gaines, Tanner and Jack Parks, Skylre Stucky, Clarissa Stokes, and adviser Alexandra Walters.

This year’s theme was “A Million Dreams” based on P.T. Barnum’s popular circus, and hit song by the same name from the movie “The Greatest Showman” loosely based on his life. It was tied to leaders developing goals for growth within their chapters.

Despite having 11 students total from the two districts, no other school in the county was represented.
