The Caldwell County FFA Chapter held their local speaking contest Monday afternoon with students competing in various categories.
Each student prepared a speech on a topic and delivered the speech in front of a panel of judges and was judged according to content, presentation, time and other factors. FFA Vice President Daniel Laurent explained some of the topics in the local speaking contest.
