In Belle Plaine, we stopped in to stuff our faces with pancakes. Yes, the Belle Plaine FFA Chapter had an all you can eat pancake feed, a Euchre tournament and silent auction in honor of a past agricultural educator. Proceeds from the pancake breakfast went to Camp Courage. It was great to re-connect with Olivia, Sam, Erin, Cody, Darin and Krystal. After filling our bellies and placing our bets on some t-shirts, we continued further south to Mankato for Region VI Ski Day. As a region VI FFA member, I could not imagine missing an event that has always been so much fun.
As my brother Jason would say, I caught some " sick powda' " on the slopes.

In addition to visiting with Kirsten, Megan, Liz, Trey, Brandon and Evan-
Me, Kirsten,Brady and Tyler. I definitely was not looking...
I had an awesome time visiting with my friends from Marshall FFA including Tyler and Brady. I really enjoyed catching up with Tyler being we both graduated together, were on the same officer team and he is always a great listener.
Brady... is the Region VI FFA Star in Agriscience! If you need to know anything intellectual about math or science, talk to him. He is a hard working guy and I know that he will go far in life. For what? I don't know, that's up to him.
...Oh, and I got to chat it up with my ever faithful adviser, Mr.Lanoue.
Afterwards we ate at a really sketchy Dairy Queen... Yeah!
On Monday we got up early to make a road trip to Detroit Lakes FFA! Crystal and I were invited to share some insight and activities on FFA with a freshman class.
A POWER-Spongebob! You had to be there...
At lunch, Blake, Dylan and I put on our game faces to sell some root beer floats. Needless to say, our good looks and rapping abilities were helpful in the persuasion of some students.
Blake... I met him for the first time at camp this summer. And since then, I am glad that I took the time to talk to him at camp. He is an incredible leader for his chapter. I can see the strong desire in him to improve and set a positive example for his fellow chapter members. Someday, I can't wait to see when he runs for state office.
Nursery Landscape mock CDE competition!
I can't wait to go back and visit in March to see the officer team!!!!
...and the Chinchilla.Finally, whilst driving back to Saint Paul, we had an excellent idea in calling our good friend Dustin from the Staples-Motley FFA Chapter. He told us to come and crash the ag. room- so we did! The Plant Science class was learning about fruit in class so they made a delicious fruit pizza. Got to see another awesome FFA member from Staples-Motley, the one and only Ryan Bart! You may know him as the amazing fiddle/mandolin/guitar player from State Convention. Also, I met the adviser Mr.Lindgren and his daughter Megan.
Megan... is currently a freshman in high school. She shared with me her love of singing, dance lessons and participating in Special Olympics. She is quite the exciting individual.
Dustin... finishing up his term as the Region II President. Getting to know him this past year has been a pleasure and I truly appreciate his dedication and loyalty to his chapter and the members of Region II.
Dustin and Crystal got into a fight...
My orthodontist told me I may need my jaw broken, so I'm working on finding a replacement.Tomorrow will be another great day. HAVE A WONDERFUL FFA WEEK.
