Allison Mayernick, a member of the Lincoln FFA chapter,
received second place in the District 3 FFA Creed Speaking Career
Development Event. Participants must recite the FFA Creed from
memory and then, during a five-minute questioning period, answer
questions dealing with their knowledge and understanding of the
creed. Only freshman class agriculture education/FFA members are
eligible to compete in the event.
Allison will now compete in the state-level event at Illinois
State University in Normal on Saturday, May 1. Only the top 10 creed
speakers in the state have the opportunity to compete in the state
event. The state winner will recite the FFA Creed at the Illinois
Association FFA State Convention, which will be June 8-10 at the
Prairie Capital Convention Center in Springfield.
Congratulations, Allison! We are very proud of you! Good luck at
state!
