Smackover FFA

10/12/2026

The Arkansas Youth Expo was in Texarkana this year. We may not have brought home any big awards, but we made great memories, learned valuable lessons, gained experience, and had a whole lot of fun along the way! Every show is an opportunity to grow, learn, and become a better exhibitor. Proud of the hard work, dedication, and memories made!
