Never before in my life have I experienced dark Hide and Go Seek in a gym at 11:30pm... one would be shocked at the many locations in which one can hide.

Farm Forum
Mar. 03, 2010
This weekend was the 2010 Farm Forum Conference. This conference is put on every year by the Wisconsin Farm Bureau. It is designed for high school Juniors and is packed full of interesting workshops. The workshops are put on to inform the participants about current agricultural issues and what is to come in the future.
The dance was amazing and the food was excellent as well. I left this conference with a better understanding of important issues facing American agriculture. I would recommend checking out a few websites:
www.humanewatch.org
www.fb.org
www.wfbf.org
At these sites you can learn about issues facing American and Wisconsin Agriculture.
Check it out!!!
Workshop in Spencer!
Mar. 03, 2010
On Thursday, I headed to Spence for a small leadership workshop with National FFA Officer Randa Braune.
It was a blast getting to know her and helping her put on the workshop. She was full of great ideas and was more than happy to pass them onto us. Plus we got to give her a taste of Wisconsin. I'm glad we had the opportunity to hang out with Randa and we look forward to her visiting again in September for SLWs.
Donkey Basket Ball
Mar. 03, 2010
On Tues of FFA Week, I had the great opportunity to participate in a game of Donkey Basket Ball at Marion. What an experience that I hope to not have to relive again for a while. It was a blast... until I got the stubborn Donkey. I'm glad that the Clintonville and Marion FFA Chapters were able to put on this event to show the community some of the great things that the FFA can do. What an experience! I had an absolute blast and scored a point in the process! Maybe I will test my skills again in the future after the body heals.
Until Next Time,
Stay Amazing
Ag Ball in Lena!!!
Feb. 25, 2010
This Tuesday I headed to the North Woods to the great chapter of LENA! I got to watch a pretty amazing game of Ag Ball that featured Students against Staff. this sure was an entertaining game that just reinforced the fact that age is everything! The Staff won with a commanding victory! After the game, a awesome challenge of Ag Olympics took place! The Ag Olympics featured great activities like Oreo Races, Pedal Tractor Races, hay Bale Stack, and Sundae Building/eating contest.
This was a great demonstration of FFA activities within a High School. The entire school was present for the assembly and enjoyed every minute of the activities!
I'm glad I was able to be apart of it!!!

Getting Beat in Manawa!!!
Feb. 22, 2010
The first night of National FFA Week was spent in the wonderful Rodeo town of Manawa!This great evening of good old fashion FFA Fun was just what I needed to Kick Off FFA Week!!!
There was great food and great people!
The highlight of the evening was the epic game of SPOONS!!! What a great time... and the best part about it is that only 3 people got injured...
I have never seen anyone slide over a table for a spoon until this day. If you like to live life on the wild side and have a death wish... then challenge the FFA Members in Manawa to a game of Spoons... What a great time!
I cant wait to see what the rest of the week has to offer!

State FFA Alumni Convention!!!
Feb. 15, 2010
This past weekend, the State FFA Officer Team traveled from CTSO day at the Capital to State FFA Alumni Convention in Manitowoc. This was a learning experience for me as I got to see the inner workings of the Wisconsin FFA Alumni. On Friday night, The State FFA Officer Team helped with the live auction which raised over $8800 for FFA Alumni. The 2008-2009 State Officer Team's saw blades were auctioned off as well. I was able to purchase the Section 1 saw blade.
After the auction was a great Polka concert.
On Saturday, I attended our Sectional Alumni meeting and the Business session. I also provided the Invocation at the Luncheon and got to listen to an amazing presenter Paul Vidmar of Oshkosh. I also got to eat with Wisconsin Representative Gary Tauchen and Presenter Paul Vidmar which provided for some great table conversation.
That afternoon, the State Officer Team put on two children workshops. The Banquet was that evening and was a real treat. The State FFA Officer Team provided Reflections that received lots of laughs and sent home a strong message. It was also at this convention that the entire State Officer Team became Lifetime Members of the Wisconsin FFA Alumni.
This was a Great Weekend and I really enjoyed time with the Team. It was great to mix and mingle with those members of the Alumni that do so much to support our FFA programs across the state. I really look forward to being actively involved with the Alumni in the near future!
CTSO Day at the Capital!!!
Feb. 15, 2010
What an amazing Experience! This past Thursday, the State FFA Officer Team had the opportunity to tour Wisconsin's Capital and meet other Career and Technical Student Organizations (such as FBLA, DECA, Skills USA, FCCLA, and HOSA) This was a great learning experience for me to get to know and understand the other organizations that provide Students with amazing opportunities.
Among the highlights of the day:
-Taking a tour of the Capital Building
-Meeting other CTSO State Officers
-Meeting with a panel of Past State Officers from all the CTSOs
-Meeting with Legislators Robert Cowles, Thomas Nelson, Jim Ott, Alberta Darling, and Gary Tauchen.
-Meeting Governor Jim Doyle!!!
-Watching the signing of Assembly Bill 236 which allows certain agricultural classes to count as science credits.
-Receiving the Pen that signed this piece of legislation into Law!!!
This was without a doubt one of the coolest days of being a state officer! This was an experience that not very many people get to have. I'm grateful I had the opportunity to go to the capital and speak about the importance of technical education in high schools!
Super Bowl Time!!!!
Feb. 07, 2010
I have waited for months for the most exciting day in football commercial history!!! I ventured to River Falls to watch this epic game with my friends. I can't wait to see some great foot ball and great commercials. I will be in River Falls till tomorrow night and then I will be headed home to prepare for the Wisconsin FFA Alumni Convention! I can't wait. It should be an all around great Week!
District Speaking Contest!
Feb. 04, 2010
This week I had the Great opportunity to attend 2 speaking contests. I had a blast talking and challenging the quiz bowl teams. I was only stumped once. I guess I need to refresh myself on the awesome FFA Facts! Congrats to all those that will be advancing to the Sectional contest in March.
Due to a 2 of the Section 8 contests being on the same day, I had to miss out on Gresham's contest. So I decided to crash in on the wonderful District 14 contest in Section 6. I had the opportunity to be a time keep for the Parli Pro contest. I absolutely LOVE Parli Pro!!! I almost love it more than I love doughnuts... and I am a guy who enjoys a good doughnut from time to time as the need arises. It was an all around Blast!!! I can't wait till Sectionals arrive in March.
This week will be focused on a lot of random FFA work. I am getting started on my third news letter. I am also working on the banquet schedule and making last minute preparations for National FFA Week!!! If there is anything I can help you with for FFA week, please let me know.
Thanks Winneconne
