MCH had a strong performance in the 2013 Heart O’ Texas Fair
& Rodeo with 22 students from FFA showing animals and 14 students entering
the Creative Arts contest. The fair was held at Extraco Events Center in Waco
from October 3-12. Youth showing animals are students in the FFA program led by
Steve Kruse through the Methodist Children’s Home School.
This was the first time many of the students showed animals
at an event. Kruse said he was very proud of his students for their performance
in the show.
“I am pleased with the results because the students all
showed well,” he said. “Winning is nice, but it is the lessons our kids learn
and the experiences they gain that are important.”
