(Hanover, Ind.) - On March 2nd, members from the East Central FFA Chapter traveled to Southwestern Hanover High School to compete in the District 12 FFA Leadership Contests.

Contests varied from several categories of demonstrations, multiple public speaking events, quiz bowl, and reciting the FFA creed.  Members were evaluated and scored by several judges while they competed in their event.

The EC FFA proudly brought home two 1st place winners, seven 2nd place winners, and three 3rd place winners.

Members who placed first will advance onto the state competition in June at Purdue University during the Indiana FFA State Convention.
