Well, opening session was awesome, Lindsey and Ben both came down from the ceiling and the others entered on motorized vehicles. The members were super excited to Discover their Adventure. The skit proved hilarious and members seem to be really enjoying themselves. Josh Shipp inspired members to go above and beyond what people have categorized them and be the best they can be by not being average...and a goat!
Day 2- It started with a tribute to the FFA creed and all it means to agriculture. Mr. Brooks Gibbs spoke about the life choices we make and how to ensure positive consequences. We also heard two presentations from National FFA Offices, Including Mr. Pagett. Outstanding member achievements were recognized. Finally we heard three retiring addresses form Casey, Jessica and Ben. Tears filled the arena to hear their words of inspiration. Hard to believe conference is half over!
Day 3- At the only session, we heard the retirng address from Jackie Garcia and recognized the officer advisors. That night Gloriana performed for 4,000 members and guests. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
Day 4- The final session of the conference was filled with excitement and tears. Press Corp, Courtesy Corp., the choir and band were recognized. We heard the retiring addresses from Lindsey and Vince. The officer's parents were recognized. Finally, the 2011-2012 officers were elected. For the fourth year in a row, Escalon has an officer on the team.
Overall, the conference and the trip home were very enjoyable. Now back to the real world and trying to get caught up.
