Southlands FFA Awards program

Back where I come from: returning back to my home town and chapter! lol I really was never invited, I was just Sydney's date to the program because she was invited. It was a Saturday afternoon, I came home from school for the weekend, and Sydney drove over and met me at my place. My first event as a MN State FFA Officer! Well in Adams, MN, on a Saturday night the American Legion is the place to be! haha what, a town of 800 and the Legion is the hang out? Yes, Sydney got to experience her first chicken fry! So Sydney and I went in our Official Dress, and I didn't think in a small rural town people would stare that much, like take a picture people. So at the chicken fry I got to introduce Sydney to all of my family, even my grandpa and his girlfriend. Syd and my grandpa are only live 30 minutes away from one another. So in conversation getting to know one another he asked "Hey Peter ask your girlfriend (syd really isn't my gf) if she has ever picked strawberries Schumacher's Nursery and Berry Farm." and so long story short they talked about lame things in southwestern MN. lol jk. From the chicken fry we made our way to the Southland FFA Awards Program. Things really haven't changed from when i was a member and a chapter officer, same program and awards and so on. Mr. Brown did put Syd and I on the spot, by adding her and I into the program to share a few words. But I am very happy to say i am from the Southland FFA Chapter. The chapter has really taken off the last few years, I am very proud of the students their. It was nice to take photos and visit with the members and their parents after the program. We got to let them know how excited we were to serve for the next year, and what goals we had in mind for the State FFA Association. After the program Syd and I went back to my parents place, and once again I had to draw Syd a picture of how to get back to I-90 so she wouldn't get lost. I really think this was a great way to start off my year as a S.O. Bye for Now :)
