82nd National FFA Convention - Saturday

Unlike Friday where we got to sleep in, Saturday we were up bright and early to get to the start of the American Degree Session at Lucas Oil Stadium by 7:30am. We got to see Drake Babcock, Shane Bahler, Josh Bruce, Leslie Byers, Kelly Clark, Jim Bob Miller, and Marcus Schwab walk across stage to recieve their American Degrees. Brandon Kurtz also recieved his American Degree, but was unable to make it because of his service in the Navy. The American Degree is the highest degree a FFA member can recieve from the organization. We were very proud of each of them as they went across stage.

After the session and taking a bunch of pictures, we all headed to Weber Grill to celebrate with the American Degree recipients and their parents and family. The food was delicious and the company was even better!

After lunch, most of us headed to the last session. We got to see Andrew McCrea give his keynote speech and Paul Moya, National FFA President, give his retiring address. Then we saw the election of the new officers. To top it off we got to see Naysa perform for the last time at this Convention with the National FFA Band. It was a great end to a great Convention!
