FFA Breaks Old Record

The Harlan FFA broke an old record of sending members to state for contests. The old record of members sent is around fifty members, give or take. Yet, this year we destroyed the old record by sending an astonishing 70 members to the state convention in Ames. Some of the teams that recieved first place are the Conduct of Meeting team, the Parlimentary Procedure team, and the CSI 8th grade team. Some other teams that did not recieve first place but are going to advance on to state are the Agricultural Issues team, and several of the CSI 8th grade teams. But most diappointing of all is our Creed Speaker, Ben Reinig. He recieved a gold, but did not get to advance on to state. The winner of the creed speaking contest had to perform the creed in front of the members of the southwest district. She was unable to perform it correctly and it was quite obvious the Ben should have one the contest. Considering how well Ben performed, he gets to present the flag at state.

The Conduct of Meetings team presents the opening ceremonies of FFA meetings and demonstrated several different types of motions. Parlimentary Procedure demonstrates a lot more motions than Conducts of Meetings, but is similar. An exclusive interview with some of the winners in the next intallment of FFA recordbreaking.
