Adrian FFA News

Recently the Adrian FFA received this FFA jacket in the mail. It came with a picture of the young man who wore the jacket and a brief history. 

We decided to clean out one of our trophy cases to display the jacket in the high school hallway. We then decided to place other pieces of history with it. The newest item in the display is from 1967.
