FFA Ag Mechanics Excels

This week Lynden High School hosted 115 students from 11 high schools in an FFA Ag Mechanics competition. Participants demonstrated skills in welding, electrical wiring, hydraulics, forklift and small gas engine part identification and building ventilation calculations. Three of Lynden’s 11 students placed in the top 10 with Erica Schuyleman placing first. Joey Durbin grabbed ninth and Colton Peterson 10^th. As a team, Lynden was .3 points away from the top spot, earning second. The event wouldn’t have been possible without the community volunteers and support of local businesses, including Central Welding Supply, Lincoln Electric and Farmers Equipment.
