Brian, Shad, Wyatt, Shane, Josh, and Maria certainly know how to put on a great convention! Derek and I met up with Justin and his girlfriend Kristin (who is super awesome!) as well as Cindy Young to take in the 81st South Dakota state convention. As we arrived, we were met with many familiar faces like last year's state officer team of Matt, Sara, Brett, Erin, Lauren, and Noelle and even found ourselves some native Minnesotans like past region three president Vanessa Pooch. Unlike MN, all of their sessions are in one place, the HPER Center where the Jack Rabbits play basketball. One really cool thing that was different from home was some of their CDE awards. In one contest, instead of plaques the winners recieved cordless drills! And in another, the winner was presented with a chain saw!! SD even has a few CDEs that we don't like the radio broadcasting contest and the range plant identification event. The convention flew by and soon we were headed back toward home to set up for our own!
