The Williston Future Farmers of America chapter, a young Florida unit, advances toward state honors through a busy program of work. They raised funds with a six county fiddling contest, planted school grounds, built a concrete walk, hosted a father and son banquet, formed a diamond ball team, planned bleachers, and earned top spots in district oratory and fiddling contests. Future plans include a swimming party at Silver Springs, a project tour, a July camping trip, and state FFA competitions.
