The Oak Harbor FFA Chapter was presented an opportunity by the Ohio Country Journal and Ohio Ag. Net to enter a contest to create a music video/parody to promote agriculture and the FFA organization. The Communications and Leadership class decided to take on this task. After a lot of brainstorming, they ended up picking the song “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore. Then they started brainstorming lyrics for this song about agriculture and the FFA. Over a few weeks members spent countless hours filming video footage for the song. Once the filming was over, students uploaded the video and began editing and putting the video to the music. Once the video was finished it was uploaded to youtube. The video finished 3rd in the Ohio Country Journal Contest.
