Chapter Visits - Sauk Center, Fergus Falls, and Battle Lake

Justin and I hit off our first few chapter visits with stops in Sauk Center, Fergus Falls, and Battle Lake.

At Sauk Center, home of the gold placing national dairy evaluation team, we met up with Ms. Thompson and the introductory agriculture leadership class. The entire class's excitement was infectious. All of the students had great questions and even introduced themselves and shook hands with us.

From there we headed to a vocational careers class for freshmen at Fergus Falls were we had a lot of fun with a whole class who had hardly heard of FFA. They were just starting the class so we got to spend some time with the basics of FFA.

We ended our day at the Battle Lake chapter meeting. Before any business was discussed, we played wiffle ball in the gym (I'm pretty sure the team I was on won)! Then we stayed to listen to the meeting and talked a little about communication through making some blindfolded peanut butter sandwiches and Mr. Larson even got a few pictures of the process. Justin and I took off from Battle Lake for some extra long drives home but it certainly was a worthwhile day!
