Winter Wonderland!

Despite mother nature's addition of lots of snow to our environment, FFA members still find ways to get together and have a great time. On Saturday December 18th the Annual Region I Fun Day was held at Detroit Lakes. The Regional officers facilitated the day.

After meeting, greeting and opening ceremonies the members broke out into workshops. Harley Alby and Krista Kappes led a workshop on how to handle yourself in interviews. They acted out poor interview habits and the member quickly pointed them out and then practiced proper handshakes. Greg Malikowski and Andrew Jossund presented on the basics of SAEs and their own experiences with them both in placement and entrepreneurship and placement. Bayleigh Antonsen and Travis Ellefson shared some information about all the different CDEs both team and individual events the FFA has to offer and answered questions about them. Lastly Raina Pederson and Marissa Lehrer highlighted the different leadership camps and conferences on the local, state, and national level available to members.

In addition to these workshops we play a few teambuilding activites including "Who's the Leader?", the human knot, and the human table. Pizza arrived and everyone sang and acted out "Singing in the Rain" in order to be served. After lunch swimming, basketball, dodgeball and just "hanging out" followed for the rest of the afternoon!

Human Table and Making Friends!

It was great to meet and spend time with the members from all over Region I including Detriot Lakes, Hawley, Thief River Falls, and Ulen-Hitterdal. Thanks for the day and keep making friends and enjoying the FFA!
