Eight students from the Greenbrier East FFA Chapter traveled to Indianapolis, Indiana for the 95th National FFA Convention and Expo. In order to go, students must be involved, have good attendance, have good grades, and be free of any discipline referrals.
This year, Baylee Burns, Hailey Elmore, Abby Hawver, Elizabeth Kesterson, Kymberlyn Morgan, Kaley Scott were given the opportunity to attend. On Wednesday, Oct. 25, we left Greenbrier East at 8:30, traveled to Dayton, Ohio and toured the National Air Force Museum. The next day, we visited the National Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana and watched a Lauren Alaina and Jimmie Allen concert in the evening.
On Thursday, we visited the Indianapolis zoo and went back to the National Convention Center. On Friday, we toured the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, went to the convention, and watched a rodeo to finish up the day. On Saturday, October 29, we left Indianapolis and came back home to Greenbrier County.
While at the convention center, students were able to attend national sessions, do activities provided by various booths, meet famous influencers such as Dale Brisby and meet people from all over the United States, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
