Maylin and Dakota Bernard received high and second -place individual recognitions, respectively while Markus Gardner and Ella Stirewalt received gold and silver awards, respectively; and WHEREAS, it's no secret that Weld County has deep roots in agriculture and is one of the top ag-producing counties in the state and nation. While this is largely credited to the men and women who work with livestock and harvest crops, it is also due to a young generation eager to leave their mark on an industry that means so much to so many, and the success of our young people in this field makes us especially proud; and WHEREAS, as Roosevelt prepares for the 2025 National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, we hope team members will approach the event with confidence, knowing that we as a board and Weld County as a whole are behind them as they again strive for excellence. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED by the Board of Weld County Commissioners that the 14. Day of May be known as Roosevelt Roughriders Day. We join parents, team members and advisors in celebrating the special accomplishment of winning a state championship. Scott K. James, Pro-Tem Jason S.
