FBLA/DECA members help Hanson's Garden Village with Fall Fest
FBLA/DECA members help Hanson's Garden Village with Fall Fest
According to a school district press release, the club decided Hanson's would be a good partner for community service because students could work with both a local business and the community.
Fall Fest is a celebration of the autumn season. The event included a corn maze, petting zoo, indoor straw bale maze, pumpkin patch, a dog agility course, and several 4-H demonstrations. Concessions such as hot apple cider were a must to stay warm on a chilly autumn day.
Over 20 FBLA/DECA members helped with the event as a community service. Vice President of Community Service, Faith Bartelt, coordinated with Beth Hanson to make the day successful.
"It was our first time working with Hanson's, but we're excited to continue the partnership, and I know almost all of the members that participated this year asked if they'd be able to help again next year," Bartelt said.
Future Business Leaders of America and DECA are both national organizations that Rhinelander High School has combined into one chapter. The difference between the two organizations is that FBLA's focus is business as a whole, while DECA has more of a marketing slant.
