The Crook County Farm Bureau Federation sponsored their annual county wide FFA Creed and Speech Competition Feb. 21 at Sundance High School. Congratulations to all the participants for a great job representing your chapters.
Creed Speaking contestants recited the FFA Creed and answered questions from the judges. First place went to Madeline Fleenor, second place to Jaylin Mills, both of Bearlodge-Sundance FFA, and third place to Camry Ruonavaara from Whitcomb-Moorcroft FFA.
Prepared Public Speaking contestants are scored in three areas, a manuscript, six-to-eight-minute presentation, and response to questions, on an agricultural related topic of their choosing. Cayna Ruonavaara, Whitcomb-Moorcroft FFA, placed first with a presentation on Embryo Transfer.
Extemporaneous Public Speaking contestants chose a topic from three randomly selected topics, then were given 30 minutes to research and prepare a four-to-six-minute speech. First place was awarded to Lindsey Fosheim speaking about drought, and second place went to Curtis Hanzlik, speaking on effectiveness of videos. Both contestants were from Bearlodge-Sundance FFA.
The high school contestants will move to the next level of competition in their respective contests at the district level.
This was the first year for junior high students to compete and Kimber Robinson, Whitcomb-Moorcroft FFA, placed first in Creed Speaking.
Judges for the contest were Farm Bureau Federation County Officers Keith Haiar, treasurer and Zeta Nuckolls Anderson, secretary, along with Royce Robinson and Cassie Pickrel.
