82nd National FFA Convention - Friday

Today we got to sleep in a little bit before many of us went to the National FFA Days of Service. Eight of us went to help build three Habitat for Humanity houses for needy families in the Indianapolis area. We got to put up siding on the house and also paint the houses. It was really fun to get to do some work and also help others in need at the same time. But, because of the rain, we got a little muddy too!!

While those guys were off building houses, Rick, Pat, Robin, and Heather went with Mr. Scherer and Mr. Martin to the Agriscience Fair Awards Luncheon. We are proud to say that both teams finished with a silver rating in National Competition. They did a great job and a Robin and Heather are already making plans for next year's Agriscience Fair!

We also got our last chance to go to the Career Show today before it closed. Mr. Martin and Mr. Scherer have stocked up on a lot of cool door prizes (free stuff) for the monthly FFA meetings!!

After the Day of Service participants returned to Victory Field, we all headed back to the hotel and changed so that we can go to Laser Flash in Carmel to eat pizza and play laser tag!! The Columbus FFA Chapter played with us, making the number of laser taggers 29! That made for much more fun!! Tonight was a first for many of the members and everybody had a blast!! Colby, Kyle and Sarah Bruce especially liked to hunt down Mr. Martin and Mr. Scherer once they got the hang of it for their first time! We also learned a new fun game from the Columbus FFA members called Ninja Tag!! We'll have to bring it back to the chapter so everyone can play! Thanks to the Columbus FFA chapter for making it a really fun evening!!!!

Tomorrow we will congratulate the American Degree recipients, eat at Weber Grill, and attend the closing session before heading back up North to Remington and Wolcott. Convention was so great, it's hard to believe it's almost over!! Stay tuned for the last day of the Tri-County FFA National FFA Convention Adventure!
