This year Spanish Fork FFA hosted the preference dance for the high school. Our students and officers helped pick a theme, Winter Wonderland, decorate for the dance, and had a blast dancing the night away. It was great to change this dance up from what it has been and for our chapter to start helping the school again.

Two playhouses were constructed and sold. Students were able to learn carpentry skills, framing, painting, and much much more. It was great experience for students to learn from.
