The Liberty FFA Chapter would like to invite you to attend the 3rd Annual Fall Middle School Mania on October 27th at Liberty High School. Check in will begin at 4:30pm in the Liberty Ag Shop with the intent of the contest starting at 5:00pm.

This contest is designed to target seventh and eighth grade FFA members. We have taken the most popular Career Development Events and modified them for younger learners. There are less identifications to remember at this level in efforts to encourage younger members to participate. Consider it a practice Discovery contest! Each chapter can enter unlimited 6th, 7th and 8th grade contestants to compete in a Discovery Division – with the top 4 scores counting as the team score overall.

Please RSVP by October 20th. This event will cost $10 per participant to help pay for supplies and contest awards. Link to RSVP: https://forms.gle/iAPgufq7buf3dXde8

Winning banners will be awarded as follows:

-Top Individual in each Event
