Today started out early for those not in CDE's! They were to report to Victory Field at 7:15am for Habitat for Humanity. Naysa, Haley, Shelby, Caleb, Zed, Robin, and Sarah Bruce all got the opportunity to help build one of the H4H homes that the National FFA builds during National FFA Convention. They got the chance to meet the families that would be living in the home and some even learned how to properly nail in siding (sort of)!
Mr. Scherer, Mr. Martin and the CDE participants all headed into National Convention a little later. The marketing plan team sat in on the finals for their contest and the advisors and the Agriscience fair participants headed to the Agriscience Fair Awards brunch to see how they did. While neither teams placed in the top 3, both did very well. Heather and Cassie received a silver rating on their project and Dakota and Alexis received a gold rating on theirs. Everyone was excited that they did so well!!
Once the brunch was over, we headed to Lucas Oil Stadium to tear down the displays and then we picked up the Habitat participants and headed to the hotel for some MUCH NEEDED rest time.
Then we all met back at the bus in the afternoon to head back to downtown for the Marketing Plan awards dinner and the Leadership dinner.
After those dinners were over, the entire group headed to the Milano Inn to take part in the Mystery Cafe production of Cat on a Hot Tin Street Car!! It was a unique experience as there were only 2 actors playing multiple parts and the audience also participated through out the play as well. If you would like to see the website for the Mystery Cafe click the following link - http://www.themysterycafeindy.com/contents.html. It was a fun evening with good food and good entertainment. Mr. Martin also got an honorable mention for the "Biggest Ham" award given out to the audience participants!
Check back tomorrow for our final day at the 83rd National FFA Convention!!
