The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo was held the last weekend, and showcased the Junior Agricultural Mechanics Show. Agricultural teacher Willie Morgan and eight FFA students represented the Pirates at the show. There were 574 entries in the show, so the competition was fierce and chances of winning a blue ribbon are slim. Pittsburg FFA were all winners and won blue ribbons. As stated on the show’s website: “ The Junior Agricultural Mechanics Show focuses on Texas 4-H and FFA members’ expertise to design and construct agricultural mechanics projects and tractor restoration projects.
