Some Burlington FFA members recently had the opportunity to participate in a celebration of Oklahoma's heritage at Septemberfest, held on the lawn of the Oklahoma History Center on Sept. 9. Septemberfest is a free festival held to showcase the past, present and future of Oklahoma.

FFA members Gatlin Jewell, Hailey Dotson, Lauren Lagos, Sadie Crusinbery and JC Crusinbery, along with advisor Travis Bradshaw, set up one of the hands-on activities for children to participate in throughout the day. They prepared an egg race course and assisted children throughout the day encouraging them to ride a stick pony around obstacles while carrying a basket of eggs.

The theme for this year's event was 110 years since statehood.
