Afton FFA Has a Busy Weekend of Service


Afton FFA members spent the weekend giving back to the community through service and outreach at the Chenango County Fairgrounds.

On Friday, members joined FFA chapters from across Chenango County to help prepare the fairgrounds by weeding and mulching the community garden. Their hard work helped create a welcoming space for visitors while supporting the fairgrounds and promoting teamwork among local FFA chapters.

Then, on Saturday, Afton FFA participated in Dairy Day at the Chenango County Fairgrounds. Students welcomed families by distributing fresh produce, including peaches, nectarines, and yellow squash. Visitors also enjoyed complimentary lemonade, iced tea, and bottled water to stay refreshed throughout the event.

One of the most popular attractions at the Afton FFA booth was free face painting, where members transformed children into colorful creations and helped make the day even more memorable. Through their volunteer efforts, students promoted healthy living, agricultural awareness, and community engagement while representing Afton FFA with pride.
