U of M Invite Crookston

Jason, Maddie and our Stillwater FFA friends :-)



********************************************


What an action packed day! First off, many FFA members had to wake at 2 or 3 am to make the journey to Crookston to compete in their CDE's. The contest began at 7:15 sharp!! Jason and Maddie spent the first part of the day enjoying the Horse Judging CDE and welcoming people into watch and catching up with fellow FFA members.
I will say this.......as I journed to Crookston on Thursday night, I went through three states (South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota). I slowly noticed the temperature dropping from 16 to -2. I am proud of these FFA members making the long journey and competing in the cold.

As the day went on, Jason and I dispersed ourselves and we met up with past camp goers, and new memebers. Due to the nasty storms approaching Crookston, many schools had to disperse the contest early, but a portion did stay for the awards ceremony.
