Atala FFA members were excited to volunteer at the16th year anniversary of the Attala County Farmers Market. This wonderful learning opportunity allowed students to meet local growers, bakers, artists, musicians, chefs, and city officials. Along with helping customers with their purchases, Austin Payne, Angelica Dodds, Za"Rhiya Dixon, and Bentlee Ebelhar also managed the welcome booth. FFA will always lend its support to the farmers who are an economic anchor in our local community. This experience was made possible by Market Manager Mary Wiliams and the vendors.
