See what our rodeo is all about!

THE ROAD TO THE RODEO CHUTE CHAT IS HERE⭐️

We’re excited to introduce our new monthly Chute Chat as we count down to the 2nd Annual Grit, Gold & Glory FFA Rodeo!

Each month, we’ll give you a little behind-the-scenes look at what’s happening as we get closer to rodeo weekend—sponsor spotlights, vendor updates, student stories, rodeo preparations, and more!

This event is about so much more than what happens inside the arena. It’s about FFA, agriculture, leadership, community, and creating opportunities for our students. 💙💛

📖 Check out this month’s Chute Chat and follow along as we make our way to October 23 & 24!

The road starts here… and we can’t wait to take you along for the ride! 🤠

🐂💙 It Starts With a Purpose 💛🐂

When people ask why we host the Grit, Gold & Glory FFA Rodeo, the answer is easy: it's for our students.

Every sponsorship, ticket purchased, and donation helps provide opportunities for Elberta and Fairhope FFA members to develop leadership skills, compete in contests, attend conferences, complete hands-on agricultural projects, and prepare for successful futures.

These experiences shape young people into confident leaders, hardworking citizens, and advocates for agriculture.

The rodeo may last two nights, but the impact lasts far beyond the arena.

Thank you to our sponsors, supporters, and community members who continue to invest in the next generation. We couldn't do it without you.
