Bartlesville Radio: The area’s best source for news, weather and sports!

An introduction of FFA members for local high schools took place on Monday morning during the Washington County Commissioners meeting before the big Washington County Junior Livestock Show takes place this week.

Chairman of the Board Mike Dunlap addressed the students before the meeting. He said it is always so encouraging to see a group of young people that looks so sharp, so clean, and so well behaved. This is the hope for the future.

During the meeting, 10 students introduced themselves and invited the public to attend this week's Washington County Jr. Livestock event at the Fairgrounds (pictured) located at 1109 N. Delaware Street in Dewey. The students that were in attendance were from Bartlesville, Copan, Caney Valley, and Dewey. Those students include:

• Alyson Waltrip - Copan
• Sydney Hopkins - Copan
• Destry Roye - Dewey
• Miranda Gomez - Dewey
• Dustin Conner - Caney Valley
• Logan Aldridge - Caney Valley
• Dalton Conner - Caney Valley
• Katelyn Conner - Caney Valley
• Josh Hevertz - Bartlesville
• Levi Heverz - Bartlesville 4-H

It was noted during the Washington County Commissioners meeting that a combined 310 students in the area participate in FFA. Approximately 90 students are involved in FFA at both Caney Valley and Dewey Public Schools. Bartlesville FFA is well on its way with 85 students participating in the newly acquired program. Copan has 45 students involved in FFA.
