GRAVETTE — Gravette FFA members, along with other FFA and 4-H members from the area, recently participated in a livestock show sponsored by the Decatur FFA chapter.

Benton County youth are gearing up for the Benton County Fair which will be held September 15-19.

William Tapp, advisor for the Gravette FFA chapter, urges, "Make plans to attend the fair and be sure and go by and see the livestock exhibited by our local youth at the fair which is one of the largest in Arkansas."

These snapshots show two Gravette youth at the Decatur event as they prepare for the fair. Above, Tyler Martin shakes hands with the judge on his way out of the arena with his market lamb. Below, Kayla Holliday sets up her animal in this class of market goats.
