Cross Country and Cougar Band in action today!
We had a great day 3! We were able to "sleep in" and had a fun filled day.
First stop was to Poe Hamps, a Hampshire sheep farm. They walked us through their farm that has been in the family since 1935.
The next stop was to Beasley's Orchard, a diversified apple orchard, where we enjoyed lunch.
The 3rd stop was to RDM Shrimp, a saltwater indoor shrimp farm. They shared their trials and successes on being the 3rd indoor shrimp farm in the U.S.
Our chapters then enjoyed dinner together before going to Exploration Acres, the largest Corn Maze in NW Indiana.

Day 2 of National FFA Convention
We spent the day at the convention center attending the opening session of the 99th national convention where we listened to Scott McKain, a motivational speaker that attributed much of his success to FFA. He was a past Indiana state officer and past national officer.
He encouraged FFA members to set goals, take action and be persistent.
FFA members then attended leadership workshops and the expo with over 400 businesses, colleges, trade schools, and ag organizations.
Crest Ridge and the other 5 schools enjoyed an evening of race cars, arcade and pizza at K1 Speedway.
