National FFA Convention
Julia Fouts
From October 20th to November 2nd 2013, FFA members from across the country met together at the National Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. Danielle Angel, Marissa Phelps, Libby Camp, Nichole Ponticello, Tommy Pitman, and McKenzie Brown were the six Homer members who attended. They visited a large dairy farm, an aquarium, the Kentucky Derby museum, a Dierks Bentley concert, a rock and fossil museum, and a zoo in Louisville. While at the convention, members partook in many workshops and met other students interested in agriculture. There was even a talent show in which FFA members could sing or perform for the other teens. Toward the end of the week, members had a Halloween party, and members dressed up and danced. In this event with many cultures, the kids decided to teach each other their methods of dancing.
Homer students had a blast learning about different people and seeing new things at the FFA National Convention!
