Please see the invite below from our FFA program. Let me add that as principal, these are two of my favorite events to attend each year. Please consider supporting these students with their projects. They work incredibly hard throughout the year. Great events! The Purcell FFA and 4H students would like to invite everyone out to the 34th Annual Purcell Local Livestock Show and Bonus Auction. It is a great opportunity to see these students’ projects and all the work they have been putting into their animals this year.
