JEROMESVILLE — On Dec. 16, 23 Hillsdale FFA members participated in the “Christmas on the Equator” event, hosted by the Northwestern FFA Chapter at the Wayne County Fairgrounds.

Pizza, chips, cookies, and drinks were served as the meal, followed by many fun activities. A total of six chapters took part in the event.

The evening provided a chance to mingle with members from other chapters, as well as an opportunity to donate winter clothing for families in need.

Members enjoyed playing card games, cornhole, nine square, and line dancing. The night was a blast, and many members said they would gladly go again next year.

Thank you to the Northwestern FFA for hosting, to Hillsdale Transportation for getting our members to and from the event, and to all of our members for participating in this district activity.
