Leadership Development Events held at Chadron State College, Chadron High School, and the Dawes
County Fairgrounds each year. Each one involves some sort of public speaking in front of judges. These
competitions consisted of FFA Creed speaking, Junior public speaking, Senior public speaking,
Cooperative speaking, Natural Resources speaking, Extemporaneous speaking, Employment Skills, Ag
Demonstration, Conduct of Chapter Meetings, and Parliamentary Procedure. Those members who
competed, their event, and their ribbon placement is as follows:
