💙Minatare FFA Takes on National Convention! 💙
What an incredible week in Indianapolis for the 98th National FFA Convention & Expo!
Our members explored the massive FFA Expo and Shopping Mall, connecting with agricultural companies, colleges, and new friends from across the country.
We were inspired during the Opening Session by keynote speaker A’ric Jackson, who challenged us to transform our lives and break out of our “boxes” with three powerful lessons for growth and leadership.
Between sessions, we toured some amazing places — including the Indy 500, Ozark Fisheries, The Candy Kitchen (where we watched handmade candy canes being made), and Risin Creek Goat Dairy and Creamery.
And of course… we can’t forget the food! We tried a variety of cuisines throughout the week — and never had the same thing twice!
It was a week full of learning, laughter, and unforgettable experiences.
