A few members in the Battle Lake FFA Chapter got the opportunity to join 70,000 other FFA Members down at the National Convention in Indianapolis this year.
While there, they got tours of a Chocolate Factory, Notre Dame, and the Indianapolis Zoo. Members also got to choose multiple workshops about leadership in agriculture such as "power of a question" & "lights camera action: teaching FFA." Finally, they got to attend one of the largest career and education expos in the nation and listen to some amazing speakers like Kevin Wanzer and Temple Grandin!
These members came back with some big ideas and a passion for FFA and Agriculture in general!
