Mayes County was a huge success to say the least! At one of the most prestigious fairs in the State, Pryor FFA won both inside and outside of the show ring. The most wanted outcome of the fair is to make a premium sale, Pryor FFA & 4-H had 27 of the 134 spots in the sale. The sale totalled an astonishing $264,400!!! That's an average of $1900 per student. These funds go right back to the student to use at their discretion. The following FFA and 4-HStudents made sale-
