State Convention

Mt. Juliet FFA is finally home from State Convention! We brought back with us two state titles, one from Cooperative Challenge and the other from Ag. Marketing. Those teams will be advancing to the national contests and we wish them all the best of luck! Ag. Issues took 8th in state, Ag. Comm took 10th, and Farm Business took 4th. Our teams did great and congratulations to all who competed! We had seven of our members receive their state degrees at the last session, Wednesday morning, and congratulations go out to them as well! The sessions were great. Whether you were inspired from a retiring address or hyper from dancing to the music during pre-session, everyone had a great time! The theme was Infinite Potential, and the state officers did a great job showing us how to reach our infinite potential. We watched as the new state officers were announced and installed into their year of duty. Although there are three sessions a day, much more takes place while at convention! Some members experienced new sites such as taking a tram to the very top of a mountain to Ober Gatlinburg, while others spent most of their time playing laser tag in the arcade. Plenty of shopping and walking the strip took place during our free time in between sessions and before curfew. Many members have mentioned numerous times how much fun they had and can't wait to go back next year!
