The 54th annual Channelview FFA Livestock Show celebrated another successful year as the auction highlighted the conclusion of the event.

Many livestock, horticulture and craft exhibits were featured during the week. In addition, the annual parade took place before the auction with the route traveling from Schochler Elementary and Channelview High School. FFA members that served in the military served as Grand Marshals of the parade.
