Last weekend, Feb. 20 and 21, may have been one of the colder weekends on record, but Alva FFA students still showed up to the local Alva FFA show. It was a really nice experience to let the students experience something "normal" and do what they love. In memory of long time Alva FFA and 4-H supporter Chris Thomas a Round Robin Showmanship Contest for the overall showmanship winners of each specie was added. The winner of the Chris Thomas Memorial Trophy was Tara Owen.
