Gear Up for National FFA Week

Blue and gold items to wear, give and enjoy

November 2008

Although National FFA Week doesn’t officially start until Feb. 21, 2009, it’s never too early to begin planning your fun activities. Whether you’re organizing a community breakfast, a school-wide FFA trivia game or even just a member social, you can rely on FFA gear to make it even more exciting and celebratory. Here are some of our best ideas for adding pizzazz to your FFA Week events!

1. FFA Nylon Bag
Accentuate your FFA Week visit to a nursing home with these colorful shopping bags filled with fruit or cut flowers.

2. FFA Mugs
These colorful mugs will make great party favors or fundraising items for attendees at your chapter’s FFA Week pancake and sausage breakfast.

3. Corduroy Scrapbook
When all the dust has cleared from your FFA Week activities, fill an FFA corduroy-covered scrapbook with pictures and newspaper clippings of your good deeds – then present the scrapbook to your school principal or superintendent.

4. Cord A. ROY Bear
When the mayor presents your FFA chapter with a key to the city, return the favor by giving the mayor a one-of-a-kind corduroy bear, appropriately attired in an FFA tie or scarf.

5. FFA Week Accessories
Take your FFA Week banquet up a notch with all of the great accessories that will put the finishing touch on your standout affair. Go to ffaunlimited.org for centerpieces, program covers, appreciation pins and much more.

6. FFA Outerwear
Brrrr! February is cold, so if your chapter is planning outdoor activities for FFA Week, consider wearing some of the new FFA logo outerwear. You’ll look cool, but
you’ll be toasty warm!

7. American Heritage
Pay tribute to Washington’s Birthday and FFA Week with our oh-so-awesome line of FFA American Heritage tees, hoodies, polos and sweatpants.

8. Customized Shirts
Need a group look that shouts your FFA chapter loud and proud? Let FFA Unlimited customize sweatshirts or T-shirts just for you.

9. Official Casual Dress
For those FFA Week events that do not require Official Dress, look sharp for the public in polos, twill shirts and the brand-new blue corduroy shirt.

10. FFA Official Dress
When the FFA Week paparazzi start clicking, make sure your jacket, shirt, tie/scarf and pants/skirt are up for the challenge. And don’t forget to shine your shoes!
