October 28 through November 3, the Bonners Ferry
FFA Chapter had eight students and two
chaperones travel to Louisville, Kentucky, to
attend the FFA National Convention and Expo.
They flew into Nashville, Tennessee, on Tuesday,
October 28, stayed the night and traveled to
Bowling Green, Kentucky, on Wednesday and took a
tour of the Lost River Caves before continuing
their travel to Louisville, Kentucky.
They took a tour of Winstar Farms in Versailles,
Kentucky, which consisted of 2,300 acres and 500
Thoroughbred horses and also got a tour of
Keeneland race track, where the Breeders Cup is
held.
On Thursday morning the group went to the
opening session and explored through the Expo
and had many opportunities to look into
different colleges, different career choices,
and many other things.
There were about 2,400 different stands there
for students to get aquatinted with. They had
about three sessions Thursday, Friday, and two
on Saturday. Friday after the sessions we went
to Churchill Downs, which is the race track
where the Kentucky Derby is held, and we even
witnessed some live horse racing. Saturday after
we attended the sessions we traveled back to
Nashville, where we had dinner at the Aquarium
and went to the Grand Ole Opry.
The National Convention was a great experience
and we thank the community members wh helped
make it possible for us to attend, especially
the Bonners Ferry FFA Alumni for their
outstanding assistance and support to get us to
National Convention. |
