The Fairfax Improvement Foundation recently purchased new flower pots and potting soil for the downtown business district. Fairfax FFA students obtained flowers, courtesy of Hurst Greenery, and planted the flowers in the 12 pots. They have encouraged the businesses to keep the flowers watered in the coming months.

FFA Advisor Ethan Riley gathered up 10 FFA members to assist FIF members Bob Alldredge and Danny Kemerling with this project.

Kent and Janice Ray treated them to ice cream at Rays’ Dairy Diner afterwards.
