82nd National FFA Convention - Thursday



Today We got up bright and early, had breakfast at the hotel and left for downtown by 8:30! Most of us went to the career show to get more FREE STUFF! Woo! Rick and Patrick and Robin and Heather headed to Lucas Oil Stadium to present their Agriscience Fair Projects to the judges. Both teams thought the did a pretty good job. We will find out tomorrow how they did at the luncheon. The boys also got a chance to show off their press conference skills in the lobby like the Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy! (Well, almost!)



Also today, 15 other Tri-County FFA members came down and got the chance to go through the Career Show. The week trippers met up with them at noon and we had lunch and got a picture before they headed home. We were excited to have almost 30 Tri-County FFA members experience convention!



The rest of us then headed to Conseco to watch Todd and Jenny walk across stage for recieve our award for being named a 3-star National FFA chapter!! We also got to hear Nessie Early give her retiring address and watched Clinton Central win the Chapter division of the Models of Innovation! Way to go Clinton Central!!



After the session we headed back to the hotel and changed to go to Beef n' Boards to see "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." It was AWESOME!!! Robin especially enjoyed the show and Rick even said that is was 'interesting!' (In a good way, I think!!) We gave it two thumbs up!! You should all go see it!!



We are pumped to head to the Habitat for Humanity house tomorrow for our 'Day of Service' experience! Check back tomorrow for more National FFA Convention adventures with the Tri-County FFA Chapter!!
