“The Fall Market was created by one of my former teaching partners and myself as a way to engage the community and offer a location for businesses, students, and other entrepreneurs to sell their goods or advertise their work,” said Breanna Saunders, animal/veterinary science teacher at Jordan.

Students in FFA advertise the market, set up the space, and help vendors, which allows them to develop leadership skills, public speaking, and problem-solving abilities, Saunders said.

The market usually gets 25-30 vendors each year, and they pay a $10 fee to protect against no-shows. Vendors keep all their earnings. Money raised by the FFA returns to the organization for students to participate in competitions, take college tours, or buy materials for club meetings.
