The Future Farmers of America along with the Future Farmers of America Alumni group are hosting an event at the Christian County Fairgrounds. The FFA Alumni are putting on the Small Town Showdown that started on Friday and will wrap up on Sunday. Katie King is one of the organizers of the event and says that the kids don’t have a lot of opportunities to showcase their animals and this is a good way to do that.

King says that payouts will be for the top 5, breed champions, reserve breed champions, class winners, and banners for top 5 and breed champions.

Sunday will feature a swine show and starts at 9 AM and King talked about some of the events that took place on Friday. 

At the end of the day King says it’s all about helping the kids get to showcase their animals who might not have another chance this summer.

You can head out to the fairgrounds on Sunday or watch it live on Taylorville’s FFA chapter Facebook page and the Taylorville FFA Alumni page.
