Chappell FFA chapter celebrates 85 Years

The Chappell Future Farmers of America chapter was chartered 85 years years ago, and many changes have taken place since Leslie Applegate – the first national FFA president – signed the local charter on March 31, 1930.

All former Chappell and Creek Valley FFA members are invited to the Creek Valley FFA banquet on April 16 at 6 p.m. at Creek Valley High to celebrate the chapter’s accomplishments. Maile Ilac Boeder, who has Greenhand and chapter FFA degrees; will be the guest speaker.

If interested, RSVP by April 7 to [email protected] or call (308) 874-3310.

The Chappell and Creek Valley chapters have had 82 state FFA degree recipients during that time. It is the highest honor that the Nebraska FFA Association can bestow on its members. Several of them also have an American FFA Degree.
