A photograph of seven high school students standing behind a white counter at what appears to be a food booth at a fair or outdoor event. Six of the seven students are wearing shirts related to FFA (Future Farmers of America) or a Carlyle school club. They are all smiling and posed behind the counter, with some holding drinks or small items. Above them, a large blue and yellow sign reads "FOOD PICK UP HERE." The structure has a metal roof and fluorescent lighting. People, fair rides, and vehicles are visible in the background.

Several members of the Carlyle High School FFA helped with the Illinois Tractor Pulling

Association Tractor Pull at the Clinton County Fairgrounds, which was hosted by Clinton

County Farm Bureau on Sept. 13.

Students that helped with the concessions at the annual event had the chance to give back

and support the Farm Bureau for the grants and scholarships they provide.

All FFA chapters in Clinton County had the opportunity to help with concessions and the

money received from concessions was divided up between the chapters.

The Farm Bureau puts on many different workshops and they offer supporting programs

along with the various foundation scholarships they provide.
