This past Saturday, we hosted our first ever Battle of the Bales hay bale decorating competition. We had participants from Martin County FFA, Martin County Middle School, and a local 4-H club called the Barnyard Wranglers 4-H Club. These kids did a wonderful job and made the bales look awesome.

The first place award went to the Barnyard Wranglers 4-H Club for their "Racing into Fall" design. They also brought home the "Cream of the Crop" award which was our people's choice award for creativity and teamwork.

Second place went to the Martin County FFA for their cornucopia design. These ladies on the FFA team turned a simple hay bale into a overflowing cornucopia, beautifully showcasing the abundant spirit of the harvest season!

The Honorable Mention was the Martin County Middle School group for their gator design. They were added in to the competition last minute and did such a great job. It was a lot of fun to see them working together to make an idea come to life.
