FullertonSunny Hills FFA Fall Festival Submitted by Emily Colby On October 24th, the Sunny Hills FFA Chapter had our annual Fall Festival to help raise funds for our chapter.

At our festival, we had vendors such has henna tattoos, a craft booth, and a farmers’ market where we sold merchandise and fresh produce from our school farm. We offered food that included tri-tip, hot dogs, and different festival foods. Games for the younger children along with activities like pie-eating contests for students were offered.
