🎉🌾 Area 7 FFA Barnwarming = A Huge Success! 🌾🎉

What an incredible night of fun, laughter, and dancing! A big thank you goes out to the Clinton Chamber of Commerce, Tourism, and Ag Committees, along with Carla Moberly, for your generous support and donations that made this event possible.

We had a fantastic turnout — and were thrilled to welcome three Missouri State FFA Officers who came to dance the night away with Area 7: Seth Engeman, Abigayle Lett, and State FFA President Ivy Elwell! 💙💛

The music didn’t stop thanks to Windsor’s own Shawn Duensing, who kept the crowd energized and the dance floor full all night long! 🎶

Congratulations to the Adrian FFA chapter, crowned this year’s Barnwarming King and Queen! 👑
