The Putnam County FFA Chapter held their annual Agricultural Olympics Thursday, February 21, 2008. This event is part of the annual FFA Week celebration and consists of various games that student teams compete in.
This year’s games, and winners were calf bottle chugging (Stacy), hay bale toss (Darien), nail driving (Tanner), greased pig catch (Matthew), washer toss (Jake W.), leg wrestling (Kale), and human wheel barrel race (Josh and Tyler). The teams consisted of six FFA members, with at least two girls per team.
