When all of the recipes were checked and entries were sampled Navarro 4-H Member Kelton Wolter had the best tasting Baked Good.  The judges picked his entry based on taste, texture and overall appearance.  
Does Lightening Strike Twice?

It does if you are Marion FFA member Reagan Langemeier!  Friday afternoon Reagan exhibited the Grand Champion Market Swine and now joins an elite group of showmen that have pulled off a "double-double" in the show ring by winning two Grand Champions in the same year.  Reagan had previously shown the Grand Champion Steer on Thursday.

Seguin FFA Member Exhibits the Champion Goat

With fierce competition in the goat ring Rayanne Muenich showed her way to the top.  The Seguin FFA member won her class, division and finally Grand Champion.  She had a busy day as she competed not only in the goat barn but was also involved showing her breeding heifers. Rayanne had an awesome day in the cattle arena as well where she exhibited the Reserve Champion Exotic Breeding Heifer.

Marion FFA member Reagan Langemeier was all business when she entered the show ring on Thursday as she had her sights set on winning the Grand Champion Steer honors, she was not disappointed.  Reagan won her class and then took the top honor in the final championship drive.
