The Bearlodge FFA partnered with the Crook County Farm Bureau to put on a speaking contest on Feb. 21. This allowed speakers from Sundance and Moorcroft to compete in the creed, prepared and extemporaneous speaking.

Kimberly Robinson won the eighth-grade creed contest, Madeline Fleenor won the freshman creed contest and Jaylin Mills placed second, Cana Ruonavaara won the prepared speaking contest and Lindsey Fosheim won the extemporaneous, with Curtis Hanslik being granted second.

Students will be participating in the district speech contest in Moorcroft and Buffalo on March 1, and regional speech is going to be held at Thunder Basin High School on March 8.
