they are going to represent Seguin High School and the Seguin Independent School District, Marion Independent School District, Navarro Independent School District and then we pull from the west side of the county which is Cibolo Creek which represents Steele and Clemens and their elementary (schools) in that area. Some of our kids are in FFA programs and some of our kids are represented by their local 4H programs which are anywhere from Santa Clara, New Berlin, Seguin, Marion. There are 4H programs spread out throughout the entire county. That's our kids and we are excited and ready," said Reiley.

The Voice of Seguin Today
Longest tenured firefighter retires from Seguin Fire/EMS Department By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- Jimmy Vogel, Battalion Fire Chief with the Seguin Fire/EMS Department stood proudly in the center of the Central Fire Station Friday afternoon as he signed off from duty for the very last time. Fire dispatch responded, "The city's Battalion Chief Jimmy Vogel has proudly served the citizens of Seguin for the last 40 years. He's been an exceptional leader and role model to his fellow fire fighters and community members. Today after 5 p.m. service and on behalf of the Seguin Fire Department and the city of Seguin, we thank you and wish you a happy retirement."
Reiley says, of course, the increase is both with the livestock and homemakers divisions. Reiley says today, there are all sorts of ways that students can be a part of the youth show.
Prior to his radio sign-off, Vogel appeared from underneath the rising fire station bay doors only to be surprised by friends, family and his firefighting family -- all who gathered to wish him well following a 40 year long career with the Seguin Fire Department.
