The Adventures of Alex: Oklahoma State Convention

Impressive! *AMAZING*^Raises the Bar^ -Breathtaking-
(A Big Deal) +Positively Awesome+

There are a lot of words I could use to describe the Oklahoma FFA State Convention. But none of them would do it justice!

For those of you who have never attended, the Oklahoma State Convention is a cross between a concert, laser show, professional basketball game and motivational speak off. The State Officers were polished. The chorus was phenomenal. The Eli Young Band was rocking. The music was loud. The crowd of FFA members was louder. And the talents exhibited and rewarded were outstanding!

If you don’t believe me, take a look at this!!

Throughout the two-day convention, I had a blast getting to know the state officers – Amy, McKenzie, Kelli, Robby, Josh, Tara, Emily, and Ariel – and hanging out with the State Officer Candidates! Congrats to the 2009-2010 State Officers on a first-rate convention.

To the 2010-2011 State Officers – Emily, Marty, Trevor, Owen, Mitchell, Katie, Courtney, and Dakota—remember the excitement and passion you had when they called your name and reinvest that in the members throughout the course of the year. Use your momentum to make a difference!

Thank you Garber FFA for letting me hang out with you guys during session! It was great getting to know your officer team and Creed Speaking Extraordinaire Tyler. Keep spreading the “Lead Out Loud” dance!

Thank you Prague and Yukon FFA for taking me to lunch! Not only was the food delicious, I really liked hearing about your chapter activities and SAEs.

Thanks to Mr. Turner and Eufaula FFA for letting me sit with you in between sessions. I’ll check out the books you guys suggested!

To the Oklahoma FFA, THANK YOU for showing me what The Sooner State is made of!
