Branson FFA students win at Ozark Empire Fair

Branson FFA students made some blue ribbon appearances at the 2023 Ozark Empire Fair in Springfield.

One student, Julianna Vineyard, won the Grand Champion Horticultural Floral Display competition.

“At first I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I did some research and I saw this wooden ferris wheel,” Vineyard told Branson Tri-Lakes News. “This ferris wheel that I had seen was a stationary one that held flowers, and I knew I wanted to go a step beyond that. So I decided to make mine a spinning wheel with a hand crank. After I drafted some designs for the mechanics of the ferris wheel, I got them approved by my Agricultural teacher, and started building.”
