The final day of convention was one to remember! Most of our chapter got the opportunity to sleep in before heading to the convention center for the last day of activities. After all the hype and excitement that Peyton Howe and Logan Wagner brought to the morning, our two outstanding delegates, Eddie Wagner and Lauren Hull, had the opportunity to participate in the delegate session, where they helped choose and vote on the future leaders of Illinois FFA for the upcoming year. After the delegate session, we enjoyed lunch together, attended the final general session, and then began our journey home. While convention week has come to an end, the memories, experiences, and lessons learned will stay with us for years to come. We would also like to extend a huge thank you to our FFA Alumni for making this trip possible. Your support in helping fund meals and other expenses allowed our members to fully experience everything the Illinois State FFA Convention has to offer. Finally, we want to express our deepest gratitude to our amazing advisor, Mrs. Howe. The countless hours, dedication, and commitment you pour into our chapter do not go unnoticed. Thank you for everything you do to provide opportunities like this and for helping make this such a remarkable and memorable trip for all of us.
