75th
National FFA Convention |
| Eight FFA Members
recently traveled down to Louisville Kentucky to experience the
75th National FFA Convention. Samantha Datka, Alissa Goff,
Garritt Venema, Heather Hopkins, Ann Schutt, Kevin Schutt, Dana
Miller, and Dave Hitz spent four days at the convention.
Upon arriving in Louisville on October 30, they went to the
opening session of the convention where Mohammed Ali received
the leadership award from the FFA. On Thursday and Friday they
attended more sessions, listening to guest speakers such as Rick
Pitino, Dr. Rick Rigsby, and hearing their national officers
retiring speeches. The members also went to a rodeo, the Zoo,
and the University of Louisville planetarium, the Huber’s farm
for dinner, and were entertained by the country group Emerson
Drive. At the sessions, the group watched many FFA members
receive awards and honors, and listen to the National FFA Band
and Choir’s musical talent. They also attended a leadership
workshop, where they learned about different types of
personalities and how to use those personalities to accomplish
activities. The trip was overall a great one and the FFA members
learned many new things and met lots of new people. |
