The Saratoga FFA Chapter has had a busy and successful month of February, highlighted by the participation of several members at the district speeches held at the Laramie Fairgrounds.

Saratoga’s Finest 4-H Club met on February 3, 2026. We kicked our meeting off by having our meal. Then, our meeting was called to order by our president, Bayla Berger, that was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and then the 4-H Pledge led by Barrett Cary. We did our activity which was a game called human knot. To play we had to grab hands that were across from us then we tried to untangle ourselves without letting go.

Just around the corner of West Cedar and Fourth streets sits Stems and Steam, a coffee and flower shop owned by sisters Brittany and Darbie Gale.

When Laidry Mouelet Nguimbi was first told he’d be going to Wyoming, he didn’t know where it was.

The Encampment FFA and 4H hosted the second annual competitive speaking contest last Wednesday night at the Encampment school library.

According to FFA Advisor Mandy Westerman, the results of the contest speeches were as follows:

4H Junior Prepared Speeches

• 1st Place Anna McLinskey - Babysitting

• 2nd Place Kelby Love - Logging

Encampment K-12, Saratoga Middle High School and Hanna-Elk Mountain-Medicine Bow Junior/Senior High School received bomb threats from an anonymous AI generated voicemail last Wednesday, Jan. 28, according to CCSD2 Superintendent Darrin Jennings.
