The Los Banos Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter celebrated an outstanding turnout at the annual Greenhand and Chapter Awards Banquet, marking yet another memorable evening for members, families and supporters.

The event drew such an impressive crowd that extra tables and chairs had to be brought out to accommodate everyone — a clear sign of the chapter’s continued growth and enthusiasm.

Guests enjoyed a warm, welcoming dinner shared among peers, families and community members.

The banquet highlighted both the accomplishments of new FFA members and the ongoing dedication of returning students, making it a night filled with recognition and excitement for the future.

A special moment of the evening came when Ethan Pacheco and Miranda Navarrete recited the FFA Creed in English and Spanish, delivering powerful and inspiring performances for the audience.

Dozens of students were recognized with their Greenhand and chapter degrees, marking major milestones in their FFA journeys. These awards celebrate commitment to agricultural education, leadership development and involvement in FFA activities.

The Los Banos FFA congratulates all award recipients. LBFFA is incredibly proud of its members and looks forward to the achievements and opportunities that lie ahead for these young leaders.
