Pleasantville held their 73rd Annual FFA Chapter Banquet on Thursday in the Pleasantville High School Gymnasium.
The program included various award presentations, a live and silent auction, and recognition of the 2024-2025 elected FFA officers. Pleasantville FFA President Caleb Cook said that the banquet is a great way to gather the community and recognize the accomplishments of the FFA members.
“It’s just a great night to bring in a bunch of community members and celebrate our FFA members. We introduced our new officer team for the upcoming year and then we also celebrated the officer team from the past year. So, it’s a good chance to recognize them and then recognize FFA members for different events and competitions they’ve had throughout the year.”
