Ames was the home of the 80th Iowa FFA Leadership Conference April 14 and 15. The conference was full of activities. Monday was the day for Career Development events. These events were teams competeing against each other for the chance to move on to nationals. In order for these teams to make it to the state level they had to move from sub-districts to districts and from districts to state. The last level is nationals which will take place next october in Indianapolis. Our teams did very well. Our Conducts of Meetings team placed a silver rating. Our 8th Grade CSI team recieved a gold rating and placed second. The Ag Issues team from Harlan recieved a gold rating and placed fourth. The Harlan Chapter recieved an award for top raffle ticket selling chapter in Iowa. The day also held a career fair and other various activites such as FFA Idol. They also had a T-shirt Gun at the General Sessions. Monday was a long day, but Tuesday was almost as busy. The career fair was also held Tuesday along with workshops, general sessions, and a movie. The conference ended with the fourth general session. The FFA Band and FFA Choir preformed at this. The Iowa FFA Degrees were awarded to conclude the general session. The state conference is a lot of fun for all FFA members. All chapters from around Iowa come to compete and have a good time. This is always an opportunity to meet new friends. I encourage many to join Ag and FFA.
