The Ekalaka Eagle - Your Community Builder

This past week Mr. Seth Whitney, along with the FFA members, Kenzie Tooke, Darin Schallenberger, Jaden Pardee, Cardell Laughery, Kendra Tooke, Tracy Wilson, and Travis Schallenberger attended the 94th National FFA Convention & Expo in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The group stopped in Manning, Iowa for a tour and lunch at Veterinary Associates of Manning. This vet clinic is one of the last to still deliver pigs into a sterile environment so that pigs can be tested for new vaccines or allowed to create new pig herds.

Once the group arrived in Indianapolis, they attended sessions with 67,000 other FFA members from around the U.S. They toured the NCAA Hall of Fame and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. While at the convention, 2020 CCHS graduates Heather and Hannah Labree received their American FFA Degree. The American FFA Degree is the highest honor awarded to FFA members who have demonstrated the highest level of commitment to FFA and made significant accomplishments in their supervised agricultural experience.

Next week, the chapter will travel to Bozeman to compete in John Deere Dealer Ag Days.
