The Monticello FFA Chapter is raising money to support their program during this FFA Week.

On the WHOW Afternoon Farm Show Thursday, Monticello FFA Chapter President Braxton Tharp told Regional Radio that they participated in an egg toss, searched for a needle in a haystack, and enjoyed walking tacos. 

Tharp credits his Chapter Reporters, who do a great job of creating social media posts that draw non-FFA members to participate in the celebrations. He also notes a new fundraiser they've started, with a fun punishment for whoever raises the least. 

For the rest of this week, Tharp says they will host breakfast and lunch for all students. He also notes that they are moving a cookout planned for this week to March due to the frigid temperatures. 

Keep an eye on the Monticello FFA Chapter's Facebook and Instagram pages to stay connected with them. Check out WHOW on Facebook and YouTube to see livestreams and replays of this year's National FFA Week interviews.
