Bethany's Blessings- Maine State Convention

WELCOME to MAINE

From May4 thru May 8, I got to meet some of the most incredible FFA members from the Maine FFA Association. 163 members and guests came to Bangor, ME and competed on the University of Maine campus in CDEs. My time with the Maine members was AWESOME!

*Presque Island Ironically, where my roommate at K-State grew-up! They have an incredible school farm, complete with a production line to produce apple cider

*Easton Took me to see my 1st moose, taught me about fiddleheads, introduced me to Tim Horton's coffee, and entertained me on our bus ride to state convention!

*Ashland Home of Maine's Agriscience teacher of the year, Mrs. Ward
