This year Guthrie FFA held the 10th annual Blue-Jay Classic Special Education Livestock Show. There were a little over 20 special education students that showed livestock the night of January 26. Students had the opportunity to show pigs, sheep, and goats. Events like this play a crucial role in promoting inclusivity and providing unique opportunities for special education students to showcase their talents and abilities. Participating in such events not only allows these students to develop valuable skills in animal husbandry but also fosters a sense of belonging and accomplishment.

Congratulations to the Guthrie High School Band for having 3 outstanding young musicians make both the NCDA All Region and OKMEA All State Honor Bands this year! This is quite an accomplishment for all young musicians to be able to claim that they are now All-State material and among the best in the State of Oklahoma!

World champion bulls will face off with world champion riders this weekend as the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA) extreme bullriding event returns to Guthrie for two nights of high-adrenaline action. Riders will be competing for glory and $53,000 in the event that will benefit a good cause.
