FFA National Convention
By Dylan Drouhard
Every year we take 12 FFA members in two suburbans to National Convention. Every 4 years National Convention changes between Louisville, Kentucky and Indianapolis, Indiana. This year it is in Kentucky. For entertainment we are going to the Arch, go-carts, Scotty McCeey and Danelle Bradbery concert, Churchhill Downs, and much more.
There are about 50,000 kids at National Convention that covers from the states of Maine to Hawaii and Alaska to Florida. Last year I went and met a person from Alaska and he was not used to the weather. This year I don't plan to get lost for about 5 hours. The drive is boring it takes 14 hours to get to Kentucky in a crowed suburban and then 14 hours back with only little time stop and stretch. The trip is worth it when you get to meet a lot of new poeple from all over the U.S. You can get free or cheap souvenirs at booths. There are 6 sessions, we went one a day including the opening and closing sessions.
I can't wait tell October 28 to leave but the bad thing is that we leave at 4:30 and get there late that day. But get to ride go-carts, go to my first concert, and go back to Churchhill Downs to watch a horse race.
