he 93rd Pennsylvania FFA State Convention took place from June 7 to 9 on the Penn State University campus. Throughout the event, FFA members participated in Career Development Events (CDE) and Leadership Development Events (LDE) and attended sessions where guests were honored and members listened to keynote speakers. Eighteen members of the Garden Spot FFA at Lampeter-Strasburg High School participated in events. During the Horse Evaluation CDE, FFA members solved problems related to a variety of equine topics, ranging from the nutrition and reproduction of horses to the tack/equipment
T
and feed used to care for horses. They also evaluated six classes of horses. In this CDE, ninth-grader Ava Immel placed third and received a gold medal; ninth-grader Sarah Firestone placed 10th, receiving a gold medal; and 10th-grader Sydney Albright placed 28th in the state, receiving a bronze medal. In the Veterinary Science CDE, members demonstrated their technical competency with small and large animals through a written exam, critical-thinking scenario questions, identifications, and hands-on practicums. Kylie Bryan, a freshman, placed 40th out of 81 participants. Sarah Blount, a 10th-grader,
placed first in the Junior Prepared Public Speaking LDE, receiving a gold medal. In this competition, students delivered an original fourto six-minute speech about a current agriculture-related topic. Blount’s speech was titled “A Constant Battle Over Milk.” A pair of 10th-graders received recognition in the Small Gas Engine CDE, where they had to complete a written exam, identify parts and tools, and use problem-solving and mechanical skills to fix an engine. Devin Miller-Baum placed 11th, and Jonathan Conrad placed 12th; both students received silver medals. Participants in the Agricultural
Communications CDE worked as a team of communication consultants to develop a written media plan and present the plan to a panel of judges. As individuals, they also had to apply what they had learned during practicums and complete a quiz and an editing exercise. The Garden Spot FFA team placed first, earning the opportunity to compete at the National FFA Convention in October. Garden Spot members took the top four individual spots, with Gracie Albright, 11th grade, placing first and Rachael Lee, 11th grade; Katie Ranck, 11th grade; and Melanie Cox, 12th grade, placing second, third, and fourth, respectively.
