CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — On Aug. 9, the Zane Trace FFA officers helped serve up some beef at the Cattlemen’s Booth at the Ross County Fair.
The burgers were the most popular item and each new batch brought up from the grill was sold in a matter of minutes, leaving the grill team and servers busy all night. The steak sandwiches were also something fairgoers desired.
Although it was a busy few hours, the Zane Trace FFA members who helped out had fun and described the event as a great experience for everyone. The officers gained new skills in customer service after serving around 300 burgers and 250 steak sandwiches. They also raised $250 to go towards the Zane Trace FFA activities fund.
Zane Trace FFA would like to thank the Ross County Cattlemen’s Club for the opportunity to help out.
