FFA Week!!!!

FFA Week is HERE!!!! How exciting is that? Hope you are enjoying in the celebrations of this exciting week. This week I have the opportunity to travel to New York to join in their celebrations. Here are a few pics from my visits so far (and it's only Tuesday!)

Visits started off bright and early Monday morning with the Canastota FFA Chapter.
FFA members shared some about their chapter and showed off their skills!















Check out those pretty sweet T's! These guys rock!











A quick drive down the road landed us at the VVS High FFA. Let me tell you, this chapter has it going on! They showed the pride of their chapter, their maple! VVS taps out the sap from maple trees and takes it through all the processes necessary to make syrup. The cool part is, they do it all! Once the final product is reached, they sell it in their school store!






Check out those smiling faces! You are looking at some of the "maple minds" They spend time lobbying and also taking a mobile maple trailor to educate others about maple!











At the end of day, we went over the river and through the woods to Camp Oswegatchie! Kicking back by the fire, meeting new friends, and making smores are some of the highlights of the evening! Oh, and snow shoeing rocks too!

Yes, we are going to adopt this as new official dress.....just kidding....as a visit to Kraft Foods, we had to get all dressed up in our coats, hairnets, and safety gear. Here we visited the largest cream cheese factory in the world! Did you know they make flavors of cream cheese like salmon flavored, garden veggie, and blueberry?

As we left Kraft, we found this GIGANTIC cow and had to stop and take a pic! I am finding out how important the dairy industry is to New York!

Stay tuned, more to come as the rest of the week unfolds!

Until next time,

Do what you love and love what you do!
