Students began constructing “A Grand Entry” the Friday before the fair and continued their efforts through Tuesday.
This year brought a new challenge as the exhibit was moved outdoors near the CHS Miracle of Birth Center and FFA Leadership Center. The students were given a 14’ x 14’ space to work in.
“I am very proud of the hard work and student leadership that this project brings every year. The students really enjoy putting their skills and creative minds to the test in this competitive activity,” Forest Lake agriculture teacher Veronica Ward said.
The project is an extension of classroom instruction as students spend summer hours in the Forest Lake Agricultural Education Department designing and building the exhibit.
The display is evaluated on artistic design principles, identification of plant material with growth and care information, and quality of construction.
Plants and other materials were donated by Twin Lakes Landscapes of Columbus, Pro Care Companies of Forest Lake and Abrahamson Nursery of Scandia.
The local chapter is also represented in the CHS Miracle of Birth Center, where Joe Ramstad is a volunteer barnyard attendant, and in the FFA livestock show, where sophomore Kyra Quillen shows her sheep.
