Granton FFA Honors (Businesses - 1980)

Nearly 250 gathered in the Granton High School gym on Tuesday evening, October 28, to honor the school’s Future Farmers of America Chapter, which recently received a state gold award for their accomplishments during the last year. The area FFA citizens were also honored by the chapter for their support of FFA activities. Presented honorary membership in the chapter were Gary Slaats, editor and co-publisher of The Clark County Press in Neillsville, Jerry Beilke, manager of Beilke Feed Mill, Granton, and David Tyler, president of the Granton FFA Alumni organization.

A service award was also presented to WCCN Radio of Neillsville for their efforts in promoting Granton’s annual Fall Festival and livestock shows.

Arthur Kurtz, Wisconsin’s assistant secretary of agriculture was the principal speaker. His presentation included the showing of slides on the “greatness of America” and a number of songs on America.

The banquet was served by members of the Granton FHA, supervised by Mrs. R.W. Fish.

Advisor for the FFA is Francis Steiner.
