On Wednesday, October 18, the FFA students held a barnyard zoo for the Huntley Elementary grades. The purpose of this was to instill appreciation for the farm animals.
The Huntley FFA members provided animals of their own for this program. Some of the animals included...dogs, cats, geese, sheep, cattle, pig, calves and rabbits. We feel this program was a success. The members plan on continuing this program for the younger members of the Huntley community. (FFA reporter Christine Jilek)
