WENDELL BOYD shows off his gingerbread creation, made recently at an After The Bell event in Mars Hill.
After the bell held their gingerbread extravaganza after school. Kids were able to make gingerbread houses trains, trees and more. The items were then put together to make a beautiful village. The Mars Hill FFA assisted the kids with their creations. Pictured here are FFA members, from left to right: Zack Chandler, Bailee Durost, Whitney Bradbury, Zack Grass, Carly Grass, Sean Brock and FFA Advisor Whitney Williams. Thanks for your help; it was greatly appreciated!
