Eaton MVCTC FFA Updates
For the past few years, Eaton FFA has sponsored the Kiddie Tractor Pulls at the Preble County Fair and the Preble County Pork Festival; this year is no different! A few changes were made this year to increase participation and accommodate parents and spectators. The events were moved to the track, in front of the GRANDSTANDS!
Participation at the Fair was at an all-time high, with 50 Kiddie pullers from the ages of 3 years old to 8 years old. Pullers were split into three age divisions, and trophies were handed out to the top 3 in each division. The Eaton/MVCTC FFA was happy to have an announcer from the National Tractor Pullers Association call the event, Denver Geitchy, and Marvin Eperson and Bane Welker, who provided the tractors, sled, and other equipment.
On Sunday, September 22, in front of the Grandstands, the second event was held at the Preble County Pork Festival with special guest announcer, Dale Minyo. Dale is the morning and mid-day farm broadcaster from Ohio Ag Net.
At the beginning of July, the 2019-2020 Eaton Miami Valley Career Technology Center FFA Officer Team met for a 3-day planning retreat at the Eaton High School Agriculture Education Department. Newly installed officers worked together to plan this year’s Program of Activities. We are excited about the events that have been planned. The first major event was the Eaton Homecoming Alumni Tailgate held on October 4th.
