Licking FFA is taking orders for FFA T-shirts, and we would love you to show your support for our chapter!
Price: $15 per shirt, 2XL $17 & 3XL $19 Order Deadline: All orders need to be submitted by 3:30 PM Friday November 6th Payment: Pay cash or check (payable to LHS)
Please make sure to submit your order before the deadline so we can get everything ordered in a timely manner.
Day 3: Started the day off with our National Day of Service project at Cool Creek Park. We got to help eliminate Bush Honeysuckle, an invasive species that limits beneficial plant growth. While serving our FFA members met fellow members from all over the country, shout out to Woodbury FFA in Connecticut!
After our Day of Service, we had our traditional convention meal at Texas Roadhouse before heading back to Lucas Oil Stadium to attend the National Talent Finals and the National Band & Chorus concert. The Chorus featuring our very own Josie Gifford, performed a wide variety of songs from Dolly Parton to great hits from the 50's and 70's.
After the concert we stated for the 6th Session, where we got to watch Rolla FFA members take 2nd place for their Agriscience Fair project and the Star Award winners be announce. To wrap up the session we heard from the Southern Region Vice President, T Wayne Williams, give his retiring address about serving others even when we ourselves might be tired.
Day 4: We wrapped up National Convention with a visit to Hunter's Honey Farm on our way home. We got to learn about the process it takes to own and manage a hive as well as produce honey. We also learned about how beneficial honeybees can be not just in agriculture but also in living a healthy lifestyle. After learning about bees and getting our own honey bears, we headed home and made it safely.
Did you know honeybees are not native to North America, and their venom can help tackle breast cancer cells.
