FFA

BBQ Selling

This month of April 2026, the Oak Hill FFA has members sell different types of BBQ as a fundraiser for the chapter, with the deadline April 8, but orders will be taken up to April 10. There are multiple types of BBQ sauces and one type of dip. There was Sweet and Smokey, Island, Buffa-Que, and Tangy Gold. People could’ve bought singles for $7.00 each, 4-packs for $25.00 each, and 12-packs for $72.00, or $6.25 each for either 4 or 12-packs. There was also a buff-lo dip, which was $7.00 for singles and $20.00 for 3. Coming up is a Meat Judging competition on April 25, where members can go and judge different types of animal meat. After that is the State FFA Convention in the State Fairgrounds, in Columbus, Ohio, which will be April 30 and May 1st. Finally, on May 8th, there will be the FFA Banquet for the Oak Hill FFA’s members; it’s like an awards ceremony.

Columbus Competition

In better news, there was a competition this Saturday, March 28, where FFA students went to Columbus State Fairgrounds. Some kids judged milk, some judged livestock, and some judged poultry. In milk, they tasted cheese and milk to see if they were good, and what kind of cheese or milk it was. In livestock, they judged pigs, sheep, cows, and goats on their looks for meat and for selling. In poultry, they judged the chicken carcass, chose what type of part it is, candle eggs, and see what’s wrong with exterior eggs and processed food, bone-in and boneless both.

State Fairgrounds

Sadly, the meeting on Monday, March 16, 2026, was canceled due to so much snow. Also, on Saturday, March 21, 2026, there were no competitions whatsoever. However, there was a competition Saturday, March 28, which was at the Columbus State Fairgrounds, Ohio, and the bus left at 5:00 am. There were kids judging poultry, milk, and livestock. If the students from Oak Hill Middle/High School get first place in either of the 3, they get to go to National; but if they get second, they go to the Big E, which is in Massachusetts. Last year, this school had some seniors go to the Big E. Then, on April 30, and May 1st, the FFA kids can go to the State FFA Convention at the same fairgrounds in Columbus, Ohio. Then a couple days after the State Fair, on Wednesday, May 6, is the Oak Hill FFA Banquet.
