As a wrap-up to its annual spring plant sale at its greenhouses next to the Anderson County Career and Technical Center, the Anderson County Future Farmers of America chapter held its spring festival on Saturday.

In the area between the greenhouses and the career center — which sits along Charles G. Seivers Boulevard next to Anderson County High School — FFA members offered a variety of activities for festival visitors, including food, animals to see and pet, bounce houses, craft-making, face painting and more.

The plant sale and festival are held each spring to raise money for the FFA chapter’s agriculture programs.
