Ten 4-H and FFA members were announced the winners of this year’s Johnson County Livestock and Agriculture Association sweepstakes certificates.
The students will be able to use the $250 certificates to purchase an animal project and exhibit these projects at the 2012 Johnson County Junior Livestock Show and Youth Fair in February.
The winners applied for the award based upon their interest in agriculture and desire to work hard for success.
The members then were selected by their 4-H club leaders and FFA advisors to participate in a drawing, where 10 names were selected as the sweepstakes winners.
The certificates are sponsored by many individuals and businesses in Johnson County.
This year’s winners and their sponsors are:
• Justin Rawdon of Venus FFA, sponsored by United Cooperative Services
• Tanner Singleton of Burleson 4-H, sponsored by Community Bank
• Zane El-Jabsheh of Friendship 4-H, sponsored by B-Bar-B Cattle Co.
