Game on! 🏓

We kicked off our first Hardin FFA meeting of the year with a little friendly competition at our Pickleball Tournament! 🏓💥

After some intense rallies and big laughs, congratulations to The Hesslers — Ryan & Emily Hessler for taking home the win! 🏆👏

And of course, no pickleball tournament would be complete without some pickles and pickle pops to keep everyone fueled!

What a fun way to start the year! We’re already looking forward to the next one! 💙💛
