Trigg County FFA students have spent the last few months preparing for the Purchase Region FFA Day at Murray State University. 

The day consisted of a variety of contests from talent to quiz bowl and speeches to parliamentary procedure. First and second place winners will advance to state in the summer. Trigg County came back with many successes. The conduct of chapter meetings team was the first from Trigg County to win the contest. The team was composed of freshman Holly Britton, Ella Chalfin, Lexie Valentine, Memphis Seaver, Colby Ross, Elliot Sutton, and Braxton Creekmur.
