Friday and Saturday, April 7th and 8th, the Chinook FFA Chapter hosted the 23rd annual Poets and Pickers Gathering.
The Chinook FFA Chapter has hosted this for 12 years, and before that Speech and Drama for 11 years.
Poets and Pickers is their own entity who bring in entertainers from all over to take part in their show.
This entertainment is full of family fun storytelling, cowboy poetry and songs. Steve Hughes, Arnold Hokanson, Noel Burles, and Dale Mailand were just some of the performers that made the night so enjoyable.
The FFA Members who made both nights run smoothly include: Jase Pursley, Wade Schneider, Cord Schneider, Austin Swanson, Kurtis Hamilton, and Hailey McMaster.
These guys also put great faces to our local FFA Chapter. Rielly Wiegand also provided most of the western decor for the stage.
Hailey McMaster, now a professional in public speaking, started off Saturday night with welcoming everyone to the Poets and Pickers Gathering.
Each member of the Chinook FFA chapter brought two dozen cookies for members of the community to enjoy throughout the night.
There was also a jam session and dance after the gathering. Poets and Pickers always brightens our community and adds a touch of country for the weekend.
