2010 National FFA Convention - Saturday

Well, here it is already!! The last day of Convention...

Today was another bright and early day. The American Degree session started at 7:45am, so we had to be up, packed, and out to the bus by 7:15am.

At the American Degree session we got to see Mindy Furrer and Jesse Scheiler walk across stage to receive their American FFA Degrees. This is the highest degree an FFA member can receive in the organization. Linzy Lemming and Jessica Wenrick also received their degrees, but were unable to be at convention this year.

After the session, we headed to Webber Grill to celebrate with Mindy and Jesse and their parents who also made it down for the special occasion. The food at Webber Grill was great and getting to visit with Mindy and Jesse and their parents was also great!

After lunch, the group headed to the final session. At the session, we were inspired by the National FFA President's retiring address, helped congratulate and pay tribute to Dr. Larry Case's 27 years of service as National FFA CEO and Advisor, and saw the excitement of the election of the new National FFA Officers. We were cheering on Indiana's own Laura Donaldson, South Newton FFA member, for a National Office, but she was not chosen. We are all still proud of her for her hard work and dedication to the FFA.

After the final session, we headed back home to rest and recover from another exciting National FFA Convention!! Thank you for reading and stay tuned for more Tri-County FFA news!!!
