Texas FFA State Convention


Texas State Convention

To say the least, my quick trip to the Lonestar State of Texas was amazing! I was only able to
attend for a couple days, but my time was incredible. The convention kicked off with the State Degree
Ceremony. It was cool to see so many FFA members walking across that stage. Speaking of stage,
the theme for convention was Ignite the Flame. Check out this picture (credits to Ashley Larkin):


Between workshops, attending the agriscience fair banquet, speaking, and even meeting the Eli Young Band,
I must say that my favorite part was vespers. Vespers is similar to what other state call reflections,
but this group of state officers did some pretty amazing things this year that really touched my heart.




As students and young people its easy to get sucked into the wrong things. The finale of the vespers
was acted out to the song Everything by Lifehouse and was a reenactment of this video.


Talk about a touching picture.  To see it live by the state officers was amazing!  Thank you, for the excellent reminder!

Hope all is well for everyone!

Until next time,

MCP
