The Adair County FFA Chapter in Columbia, KY, will celebrate National FFA Week, Febrary 20-27, 2016. This year's theme is Amplify! which embraces more than 85 years of FFA traditions while looking forward to the organization's future. More than half a million members will participate in National FFA Week activities at local, state and national levels. These members have a passion for agriculture.



Designated as National FFA Week in 1947, the week of George Washington's birthday is FFA Week, and runs from Saturday to Saturday. FFA Week gives FFA members an opportunity to educate the public about agriculture. During the week, chapters conduct a variety of activities to help others in their school and community learn about FFA and agricultural education.

Adair County FFA will celebrate National FFA Week by participating in the following activities: FFA Spirit Dress-up Days, FFA Greenhand Ceremony, Chapter Meeting and Barnyard Olympics.

Today's FFA members are the innovators and leaders of tomorrow. Through agricultural and hands-on learning, they are preparing for more than 300 career opportunities in the food, fiber and natural resources industry.

The National FFA Organization provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 629,367 student members who belong to one of 7,757 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
