2010 National FFA Convention - Infinite Potential

Wow!! It has been forever since the last blog, but we're back just in time for this year's National FFA Convention!

Today all of the "week trippers" couldn't wait until the end of school so we could load the bus and head down to Indianapolis for another fun and exciting National FFA Convention! Mr. Martin's jeep was loaded down with all of our luggage and we all piled into the bus and headed off down I-65! When we got to Indy, we checked into the hotel and then went to eat in downtown Indy at P.F. Chang's. For those who don't know, P.F. Chang's is a Chinese bistro. The food was delicious and the conversation was good too! Everyone was excited to be in Indy for the week! Once dinner was over, we headed back to the bus to go back to the hotel. We have to park our bus in the Victory Field parking lot, so we had fun walking the 5 or 6 blocks through downtown Indy experiencing "big city" life!! Some of us were amazed that we saw horse drawn carriages walking through the busy city streets.

Once we got back to the hotel, we had a short info meeting in the boys' room and then the Marketing team and the Agriscience Fair teams went to work practicing in the lobby while the other members experienced the pool.

Tomorrow we will get to sleep in a little before heading back to downtown to set up the Agriscience Fair exhibits at 10am. Then we are eating in the famous Pope room at Buca Di Beppo's for lunch and experiencing the career show for the first day. Tomorrow evening we will be inspired by the National Officers at the Opening Session in Conseco before heading to the Lady Antebellum Concert!!

Stay tuned throughout the week for more blog posts and also some student perspectives of our exciting week at National FFA Convention!!
