FFA At The Big E

The Eastern Regional FFA Program is a unique activity.  Combining 20 states from the Eastern Region (ranging from Rhode Island to Michigan) over 900 FFA Students compete in 2 dates of exciting competition. Most CDE events are open to the public and some of the most public CDE events are:  Floral Arrangement - Under the Harvest Moon & Landscape Exhibits - Conservation Gardens.


Can't come and see the 2 days of competition? Stop and see the FFA Corsage Makers action! Located in the Farm-A-Rama building, each day, a FFA chapter arrives at the Fair to make corsages for Fairgoers and march in that day's parade.
