Garfield County Conservation District hosted its annual speech contest Oct.14.

Three Garber FFA members participated in the speech contest themed “Dig It! The Secrets of Soil.” Candace Ong, Samantha Nickel and Jarred Strate all presented 3-5 minute speeches, competing for the chance to go on to the area contest. Strate, an eighth-grader, won the junior division, receiving a $75 savings bond. Ong, a sophomore, won second place, receiving a $50 savings bond. Both Strate and Ong earned the chance to compete in the area contest, which was Oct. 29 in Taloga. Strate placed first and Ong placed second and earned a trip to the Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts state contest to be in Oklahoma City in February. Both students will present their speeches at Garfield County Conservation District’s annual meeting, which will be Thursday in Enid.

An essay contest and a poster contest also were sponsored by the conservation district. Results were:
