On Oct. 26, nine Mid-Prairie FFA members packed up and headed for Indianapolis to take part in the National FFA Convention.
Members who attended were Marissa Cline, Bridget Fisher, Zane Fisher, Zoe Fisher, Brittany Kinsinger, Rebekah Meader, Anna Nafziger, Carmen Sieren and Jacey Sisson. Mid-Prairie FFA adviser Elsa Schmidt was the chaperone for the trip.
On Wednesday, members toured the Museum of Science and Industry and visited Lake Michigan in Chicago.
Members attended the opening session, which featured keynote speaker Courtenay DeHoff on Thursday.
Members then visited the Career Show and Expo, where they received information from colleges, ag businesses and other organizations associated with agriculture. During the evening, they attended the Third General Session.
On Friday, Mid-Prairie FFA members toured the Dandy Breeze Creamery. They bottle their own milk from their Jersey herd. Members also toured the National FFA Center.
On Saturday, two members of the Mid-Prairie FFA Chapter received their American FFA Degrees. Quinn Schmidt and Garrett Sexton received the American FFA degree which less than 1% of all FFA members obtain.
Members returned home following the ceremony.
