The Lonesome

The Lonesome

Jared Pace

A lonely life, a lonely road

A heavy burden to hold

Some friends came, and some went their way

To go off and join the fray

Many came back, and many were lost

Just how many would it cost?

He sees his friends, his family, and his kin

As they fight a battle that they cannot win

FFA's Barnyard Bingo

Julia Fouts

     On Sunday, September 28th, FFA members went to Truxton for the Harvest Festival. They participated in barnyard bingo, and everyone had a blast. Bringing and feeding the calf, named Buford, required work from everyone. After that, it was time to play!  For barnyard bingo, people guessed on which square of the painted bingo board Buford would drop this manure. Participants paid for the square on which they bet he would “do his business.”

     FFA members enjoyed helping out at the festival and raising money. Libby Camp, the secretary of FFA, said, “Barnyard bingo was so much fun. We really appreciated everyone’s support!” FFA will continue to support the community while finding ways to have fun with agriculture!
