On Monday July 19, 2021, the Gothenburg FFA Officer Team and their Advisors took a trip to Rigby, Idaho for some team bonding and to begin planning their activities for the year. Their trip started off in Yellowstone national park. Inside the park, the team saw the natural wonders that Yellowstone offers its visitors. They were accompanied by several officers from the Rigby, Idaho FFA chapter.
July 15 marked the start of Farmers Market season in Gothenburg. The east sidewalk of Ehmen housed market booths of all kinds. Fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs, and cold-brewed coffee could be purchased by visitors as they strolled through the market. Spirits were high on opening night. Farmers and their families chattered happily, booths had lines that reached the street, and children played on the playground equipment while they waited for their parents. An FFA kid had her project at the market and many people stopped by or looked over at her table to see what she was doing.

“The best prank I ever pulled was to put peanut butter on my friend, Bill Orthman’s, door handle,” shared my grandmother, Joyce Margritz, as she sat in her office talking to me. Despite this, she said she is still very good friends with Orthman to this day. That’s probably because she is rarely that mischievous and is inordinately very kind to all people.
